Hi Kip
I think you got the gist of it.
In regards to your Q on DR, I assume that SunGuard and IBM is
a DR facility hosted by them. How would you be recovering your
database?
Tapes? Then that should be OK.
Filesystem replication or one of Oracle's features? Then you have to
get another set of licence.
