Hi Richard,

"The practice of managing a standby database within Oracle is a time-honored one, whether its managed (dataguard) or handled by roll-your-own scripts. "

I did mention a user-managed database methodology, perhaps not clearly enough.
I did administrate user-managed standby databases back on 8.1.7 (Standard Edition).
The same scripts worked for 9.2 and 10.1, much to my (pleasant) surprise.

Sorry for the confusion.
