I don't think this is true. Kyte said  



Ok, here is one example:

two computers.
running application server.

No database, no rac, yet - part of grid.

two computers.
one in the US.
one in the UK.
using streams...

two separate databases, no rac, yet - part of grid.


 

>In Oracle terms RAC is a Grid Technology.
 

That's true--but it's not required in a Grid configuration (sufficient, but not necessary).

My point is, how do you setup a Grid with Oracle RDBMS?

RAC is not GRID and GRID is not RAC that is true. GRID is a concept, not invented by Oracle. So obviously RAC is not a GRID or viceversa. However if we wanna deploy a GRID environment using Oracle RDBMS we need RAC. In Oracle terms RAC is a Grid Technology.

RAC is not Grid, Grid is not RAC.

Well in Oracle terms a Grid needs RAC.

Grid is a technology, concept.

Grid and RAC is not directly related. Grid may contain RAC, but it is not a must. You may have databases 9i, 10g etc. and also hosts Solaris, Win, etc. Grid enables you to manage these nodes. Regards,

Hi

A single database cannot form a Grid. Grid is basically based on Real Application Clusters, i.e you need > 1 server.

There are no such grid commands. The whole thing is not that simple.

Hi,

       Well, I am a final year B.E. student doing a project on Grid and we selected the oracle 10g database for the project. Now, we have installed the database, client and evrything but are confused about how to test the grid. We know the DBA commands from 9i(since I am preparing to be a DBA) but need to know where we can get grid specific commands for 10g. Any help will be gladly accepted,
