Thanks for the good info.
I guess by speed, I mean load, especially how it is distributed over
processors and disk systems. Obviously, if one processor has a big load
or a lot of I/O, response will be slower than another with little or no
load. This is where the grid comes in (again as I understand). Oracle
would do the resource loading to give each/all processors part of the
load, making the response time faster from all of them. I am still
learning about how a grid works, but as I understand it so far, there
are several servers, disks, etc in the grid; Oracle manages what jobs
are processed by which resources, leveling the load. Considering that,
as I understand it, this system does not have significant high and low
load, I do not see that Oracle would have much load leveling to do in
the grid. Of course when I actually get there I may find my assumptions
are all wrong.
I do not know the source of the data yet; I am assuming it is streaming
from sensors, rather than periodic file transmissions. I would have to
have something (java) create the slq*load flat file or the external
table. I can experiment with the efficiency of the two when I get
there. I will keep studying Oracle 10g and external files. Thanks
again!
