Has anyone implemented 'true TAF' i.e. TAF that works with updates, deletes and 
inserts as opposed to just selects. I know it is not supported but there are 
ways around it. Has anyone done it. I don't see how a business can do just 
selects and be OK justifying the cost of RAC.
Does anyone have an application that does JUST SELECTS then it will be a true 
Transparent Application Failover - does anyone ? Raj, can you maybe discuss a 
little bit about the way your application works  ?

If that is okay, then that is cool.
For what I do though, that is unacceptable.

My point is I bet you can accomplish the same without RAC.

We do and I can tell you, if implemeted correctly, it works fine. =

of our users who rely on split-second response times do not even know if =

their application gets moved from one node to another. Might be because =

such critical sessions we do pre-connects. but yes, it works. For=20
applications it is usually few seconds when they get errors and have to=20
connect again.
