Don't even go there. Believe me, you *will* have issues. You *will*
leave databases down when they're supposed to be up. You *will* be
phoned and yelled at. Your DBAs *will* be phoned and yelled at.
Your previous job's approach is tolerable - it's what we do here today
(until we get the agents into production). The approach they want in
your current job is NOT a good idea. It sucks. It breaks randomly. It
leaves databases down. Don't try it. You'll be sorry.
