Hi Yong,

Perhaps designers then, at least thats what I think the posters are
referring to and certainly what I am.

The application would lend itself better to RAC (scale better/well) if its
data is logically partitioned and could make good make use of services.  By
partitioning, I don't mean at the table level here, but at the level Gints
Plivna was referring to.

But for this to happen, its the developers/designers that need to be
thinking RAC.
