Dear All,

The document mentions one database can have multiple instances (parallel
server), but I have no experience of this setting, I wonder:
1.Why does one database need multiple instances at the same time?
2.Will it make the implementaion very complicated?
3.Is parallel server specific to Unix and doesn't work for Windows NT/2K?
4.Can you show me an implementation example, if it is useful?

Thanks in advance.
Dino
