Tony, I understand Gints Plivna's and kathy duret's responses at //www.freelists.org/post/oracle-l/Documentation-for-reasons-to-NOT-use-RAC,23 They both proposed great ideas for application server admins. The only thing developers should do a little differently is perhaps "Use of parallel in queries to take advantage of the Rac power", but that's not really RAC-specific.
