Larry's vision is one big database, one big application instance, running on hundreds of small commodity servers with redundancy implemented in software, resulting in a very low cost but very high maintenance. [Mladen Gogala] And that, my friend, is great as long as I'm well paid to do the maintenance. I essentially agree with you, only I would use a little bit different wording. Larry wants to create the software for HAL 9000. And every HAL needs its Dave Bowman or weird things can happen. It's full of stars.... -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
