comment RMAN backup script failing
I think it should work. Try it and see. You don't even need to actually run the backup stuff to examine the environment variables.

comment What is Utility_DSN?
Better late than never! Thanks for the reply. I have not consciously made use of any connections to non-oracle databases that I know of. Perhaps something was installed on these servers that caused this entry to be created. At any rate, I now have something to look for. This is a Windoze shop, so /etc/oratab isn't in play. Good info, thanks again.

Thanks for the correction, Mark. I've changed my answer to reflect this.

comment How does an alter work?
Even if no row chaining occurs, the bottom line is that at a minimum, every row needs modification to add the new columns. But yes, row chaining would make the effect worse.

comment Error updating a master table of a materialized view
Unless I'm reading the docs wrong, it's pretty clear that it's a fast refresh that's done. Would you really want a complete refresh of your MV on every commit on the master? That would really slow down any commits. I just don't see how that would work.

comment Error updating a master table of a materialized view
It is a fast refresh: REFRESH ON COMMIT (from the docs): "Specify ON COMMIT to indicate that a fast refresh is to occur whenever the database commits a transaction that operates on a master table...".

And, today, I got notification that Data Guard was having trouble, so this has solved my problem. Thanks Leigh and Kerri for your help.
