DGPDB Switchover Failed! Lessons from a Live Demo Disaster (and Recovery) It’s been a while since my last blog post life and work kept me busy. But recently, I gave a webinar on Oracle 23ai Per-PDB Data Guard (DGPDB), and let’s just say... the live demo didn’t go as planned 😅 My goal was to showcase a simple PDB switchover in real-time. I had validated everything. All signs pointed to…

My DGPDB switchover demo failed - live.
And honestly? I’m glad it did.

What looked like a simple switchover turned into:
* ORA-28098 (password grace period)
* Dropped PDB by mistake with REMOVE PLUGGABLE DATABASE

It was painful, but I learned a lot, check it out!

Cheers,
