At one point there was a lot of self promotion in this newsgroup about rac clusters on mac os. ( Well self promotion is being polite ). Try searching the google newsgroup with things like "mac cluster" or "kent stroker" and you will find the postings.

Certain of the people posting here were giving advice here and telling people to run production systems and rac clusters on mac os. How you get patches and patchsets when you run into issues ... that's a good question eh?

That answers the who part anyway.

The "why" is a better question.

It is fine to get excited from time to time about oracle announcing new platforms. Over the years many of us have seen a history of "one time" or "two time" releases of oracle on certain platforms that are subsequently "no longer supported". Received on Mon Jul 24 2006 - 15:11:54 CDT
