Not a bad idea actually. But the problem there, I suspect is that the only methodology would be brute force with lots of savepoints. If I had 128 CPUs I'd go for it. But my little 2 proc servers I fear, even with 10gR2 RAC, would not be up to the challenge.

Anyone have a nice 16 way box they'd like to donate to the University of Washington for the Oracle Chess Challenge.

(Too bad Larry isn't known for playing chess. Might be something that would intrigue him. We could play Oracle vs DB2).
