When I was at Oracle World in San Fran. Grid refers to the whole infrastructure not just to RAC. The idea being to scale not just in the database end but on the application server end. To also be able to dynamically shift resources around. (eg accounting needs more priority at the end of the quarter vs other groups). Jim Received on Thu Jan 22 2004 - 00:52:12 CST
