RE: floating point and Sun T2000

        What does "FP underpinnings for scalability" mean?

I said the server. I'm talking about the server (e.g., kcb,kcr,etc etc etc). If
you have an app that consists of endless PL/SQL loop of computations on a
single BINARY_FLOAT datatype in a single row, then FPU would be of interest. The
engine is not the place to do application fp ops.

Be glad: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829444

So, to answer the the original post, the T2000 scalability RE fpu will not cause
a database scalability problem.
