And get ANOTHER two people at Oracle who hate me? Thanks Peter, you're doing well! :)

Seriously: there is nothing wrong with what they said. If DEC had made clusters as hard to setup/manage as RAC is now, they would never have taken off. So ANYTHING that simplifies the stuff is most welcome!

Let's face it: the technology is brilliant. Save a MAJOR improvement in the performance of single CPU servers, I can see it as the way to go for scalability.

There is one aspect to RAC I'm sure hasn't sunk in properly with you folks at Oracle: it puts the bee in the bonnet of DB2 like NOTHING Oracle has EVER done! The IBM guy was remarkably silent during the funny bits about scalability... I asked him a few skewed questions after the meeting and he ran away from the issue like a possessed rabbit! DB2 is simply out of this league, with their "shared-nothing" architecture crap. Just for that, RAC deserves as much attention inside Oracle as it can get.

But last thing I want is go to a customer and have to go through hoops of certifications of this and that to get it to work. It's one area where automation is definitely the way to go.

Judging by the number of "experts" and "product managers" in that room, the blessed things must be breeding like rabbits! Even heard of people with "y-e-a-r-s of experience" in setting up Oracle and RAC on Linux. Oh well, MOTS as expected: lots of "positioning"... When is it being included in OCP? ;D
