Indeed you did. The context is application transparency.
Noons is claiming that queries in DPF need to contain node-specific
language features (such aas a nodenum() function perhaps) to execute.
Also if you would have read the context (or even the very post you
replied to) you woudl have read my argument that no one the F..K (what
doe sthat stand for? is it a technical term?) cares what happens when
only 9 of 10 nodes are there because that is much or little an issue as
what happens when a RAC cluster remasters.
In RAC you remaster and live without the node. In DB2 you restart the
friggin node. It is my no means hard nor time consuming.
And now I will stop posting to this thread because it is loosing it's
technical content. Instead we are down to simply re-hashing the same
words, for which I have neither time nor patience.
Cheers
Serge
