Re: db_unique-name clarifcation

I dunno, but
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:3:224193459298832873::::p3_database_id,p3_docid,p3_show_header,p3_show_help,p3_black_frame,p3_font:NOT,172785.1,1,1,1,helvetica seems to indicate it is required. Somebody on oracle-l advocated (convincingly, I thought) keeping the names between standby and primary the same, but this appears to put a damper on that. In my experience it's better to not fight the oracle way unless you are prepared to reinvent the wheel.

See "Using Recovery Manager with Oracle Data Guard in Oracle Database 10g" in
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:3:224193459298832873::::p3_database_id,p3_docid,p3_show_header,p3_show_help,p3_black_frame,p3_font:NOT,305809.1,1,1,1,helvetica which points at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/pdf/RMAN_DataGuard_10g_wp.pdf which mentions making backups from the new standby after switchover.
