standby database question.

[Joe Testa]

I'm back on 8i for a different client who wants to implement standby database.

other than the whole possibility of losing data during a failover, i've not been able to find anything about doing managed recovery with out having a dedicated session to put the database in managed recovery mode.

SQL> recover managed standby database;


this does not fork into the background but is a foreground process, that ties that window up as it receives and applies logs, that is correct right?
Its not until 9i where we get the luxury of managed recovery being a background proces, right?

thanks, joe
