This for RAC 10gR2.

I would like to test my client-side application code that deals with catching and reporting a lost or broken connection to the database.

  What's the best way to simulate a connection failure?   ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '$SID,$SERIAL#' via another process?   Is there an equivalent command that doesn't need to know   the RAC node?

Any pointers to other testing considerations appreciated.

Many TIA!
Mark
