Funny story/rant about a vendor who doesn't support RAC because they are too cheap to test their product on it. It turns out they are using a severly outdated framework that requires the use of the SID in the JDBCURL and does not support SERVICE_NAME (I don't know why). Now for the funny... they use that framework for half the application... so we have RAC for half the application and the rest of the application is just pointing to a single node...

Sorry for the OT... I just felt like ranting this morning.

Cheers!
