    How long does a HADR take to switch from primary to Secondary?

    We are looking at implementing HADR Solution to our OLTP databases and wanted to check how long does a HADR take to switch from primary to Secondary in real world?
    I have been reading documentation that it is fast, but the actual time is not mentioned any where. Wanted to see if it is less than 5 minutes or longer than it?
