References? URLs? How big are these systems (data, nodes, user load)? There's a difference between SELLING RAC and truly using it. Oracle's practically giving that piece away now...

I noticed recent PR from Oracle touting a RAC install (at NAV, I think)...then you look at the details and see it's only a 75GB database supporting 20 users. C'mon...that doesn't even make IDS or UDB EE even breathe hard...hell, it isn't like Oracle 8i or 9i can't handle that smoothly either. That was just lame, particularly from Oracle's marketing machine...can't polish that turd even if yer Ellison or Gates. Received on Fri Oct 18 2002 - 15:53:18 CEST
