Ok now that my name has been called out... I guess I will add my 3 cents worth
 
1) The decision to go RAC is a BIG decision monetarily, time, skill 
 
    If your applications aren't mission critical why would you bother?
 
 
    If you can get away with a db and standby

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.

In short, the developers don't need to do anything special for RAC. DBAs and 
mid-tier administrators do.
