One thing to do is check the archives for this forum. There have been a = lot of discussions about RAC. I'm a bit glum about it. I'm pretty new = as an Oracle DBA and we have already installed RAC on our transactional = system and have allocated money for our datawarehouse. At the time I = didn't know enough to influence those decisions. I have observed that = the transactional dba's have had some trouble keeping both nodes up when = they were supposed to be up.

What I have extracted out of the conversations here is that your = management problems will increase, your cost will increase, your = performance will decrease. You should gain some increased = availability. If I didn't summarize that right somebody should correct = me.=20

Subject: Is RAC DOA?

I posed a question here last week wrt RAC and got one response. Is there a concentration of RAC users elsewhere? I find the=20 metalink forum practically worthless, which is probably another strong indicator that RAC is dead. Pricing issues, right?=20
