RE: Oracle's relationships with expert DBAs (and the rest of us mere mortals)

Can you elaborate on the "Then, of course, they also wanted RAC, and that's where the whole financial wagon went South?"

We are testing RHL 3 with a view to replace our Windows OS. We are doing this on a single node now but eventually would have to RAC it and retest. Is there some kind of complication using RAC on linux?

Which, unfortunately, seems to guarantee that in general Solaris will be replaced by something more unstable out there.

Funny? Only if you're twisted.
Good for us? Only if we're willing to change. Good for our country? Oh yes. GDP will increase, just as it does when we have many traffic accidents.

When a large customer of ours went from HP/UX to Linux, we all expected to see savings. Perhaps one day we will, but to begin with, the HP support/upgrade stuff on Linux was - surprise - about the same price as on HP/UX. Then, of course, they also wanted RAC, and that's where the whole financial wagon went South.
