Hello,
I'm writing my masters thesis on "scalability of a web system". This system uses a Oracle 9.0.3 RAC DB. I wonder if there exists any known scalability problems with this database?.

I'm doing some calculations and wonder if anyone know how many CPU instructions a SQL operations in Oracle needs (just a rough number, are we talking 10^6 or 10^7), and how many clock cycles does it need to complete?

Thanks in advance.
