Pete,

As always thanx; you've answered a lot on my other thread (bandwidth for redundancy). Now I think I can't go Oracle on NW (the developers don't support it currently) so am looking into Oracle on NT.

I like the PARTITIONED DATA scenario & then the STANDBY scenario. The vendors product comes bundled with Oracle7.3.x WG but I'll have to upgrade to Enterprise to use it for other purposes.

STANDBY scenario is the same theory as what we do to our NW file servers through a third party software called StandByServer from VInca corp. I know they have a NT product but seems like better off to use the MSCS/FailSafe combo since I'm making this NT setup pure database serving only.

Any other recommendations/suggestion/etc you can give an newbie regarding NT, Oracle, FailSafe, MSCS, etc, etc?

TIA.
