Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Larry Ellison comments on Microsoft's benchmark
The poster said the query FAILS, he did not mention wrong results.
Having some query fail because a machine is down and others work and
return
the correct results sounds usefull to me...
What happens is that DB2 will try to send a request to the failing node
and aborts the whole query when it figures the node is down. DB2 will
only send requests to nodes that have data that it needs, so it can
still maintain limited (and correct!) operation when a node fails...
but again I might be biased...
Cheers
Serge
