Why teach a trained monkey to do the job. Because upper management is being led to believe that a full time DBA is not really required to manage their databases. That the databases and their accessories (grid control as a for instance) are so simple that the trained monkey (at a lower pay scale) can do the job. Problem is, what does the trained monkey do when he's faced with a plain old vt100 terminal & sqlplus only to fix things?

        Answers have been given          

        Begs the question though.....WHY ask a trained monkey to do the switchover. This looks to me like it should be scripted or a DBA task not a manual job for an operator who may make a typo while connected as SYS, and than what?

                Has anyone written a guide for a non dba to do a manual dataguard switchover on Linux Oracle 11g?
