Hi all,



I understand there is a form of an Oracle Database server described as
'Parallel'.  Does anybody, in general, know what this is; and what
does it give above a standard system (If there is such a thing!) ?



I could take a couple of guesses I suppose - maybe something along the
lines of fault tolerance/performance ??



Is this beast a special version of the basic DBMS software or is it
some kind of 'add-on' software which allows colaboration of different
machines/instances ?



Any info welcome - Many thanks



Dave
