Re: Where is Oracle’s Grid ?

Yes but the concept is still the same. but now cache fusion tries to do it in memory across the intercon where possible instead of pinging back to disk ...

Hurray.

if 10.0 was 'out of the box' stable then we might change our POV . Never happen. This is why we're getting impatient - we know we're going to get to 10.3.6 patch (or whatever ) eventually so why not release now ? Those who know Oracle from the outside know this is how it'll work Otherwise why launch

PS Taking bets now on the terminal 10.x patchset number.
