Hi!
We're working on Linux platforms and are searching for ways to add some High Availability feeling to our Linux/Oracle development platform. As it seems to me, the Paralell Server Option of Oracle is not really available for Linux as there is no OS-bound cluster software available resp. is not working together with Oracle's DB.

So what else is possible? There is this Standby Database, but that's not really nice, I think!?

Thus it seems we're stuck with a Multimaster Replication. We will have some kind of middleware that distributes incoming queries to the several servers running the Multimaster Replication. What do you think? Is this a good idea? What else could we do?

Would be great to hear about your ideas!

Bye for now,
