Hi all,
I understand there is a form of an Oracle Database server described as 'Parallel'. Does anybody, in general, know what this is; and what does it give above a standard system (If there is such a thing!) ?
I could take a couple of guesses I suppose - maybe something along the lines of fault tolerance/performance ??
Is this beast a special version of the basic DBMS software or is it some kind of 'add-on' software which allows colaboration of different machines/instances ?
Any info welcome - Many thanks
Dave
