I thought RAC users should know. No sense in self imposed ignorance eh? Quoted from computer world:
"It was an [Oracle] database issue, and we decided to make an
architectural change to the site, a change that will put us in a
position to move forward with even higher reliability," Jouzaitis said.
"The site is performing great now."
Jouzaitis said that as a result, Orbitz is no longer using Oracle Corp.'s 9i Real Application Clusters database software. [..]
The Orbitz outage comes at a time when Oracle is touting its
"unbreakable" software in an extensive marketing campaign. "Unbreakable"
refers to a database that will not go down, even if the server or the
site fails. Oracle is also in the midst of a hostile takeover of rival
PeopleSoft and is trying to project a customer-friendly image.
