RE: some TAF (tough) questions ?

Hi,  

with 10.2 you can have TAF with EZ connect (server side failover). See for example http://www.dominicgiles.com/blog/files/archive-3.html ..and you will need '10.2 clients'. Still with RAC you may want to use tnsnames or ldap to use client side load balancing and failover (over all the available listeners).  

Cheers,
L.

"Using Easy Connect Naming on the Client

Clients can connect to a database server using easy connect naming if the following conditions are met:

• Oracle Database 10g Net Services software installed on the client.
• Oracle TCP/IP protocol support on both the client and database server
• No features requiring a more advanced connect descriptor are required

For large or complex environments where advanced features, such as connection pooling
