One thing to do is check the archives for this forum.  There have been a =
lot of discussions about RAC.  I'm a bit glum about it.  I'm pretty new =
as an Oracle DBA and we have already installed RAC on our transactional =
system and have allocated money for our datawarehouse. At the time I =
didn't know enough to influence those decisions. I have observed that =
the transactional dba's have had some trouble keeping both nodes up when =
they were supposed to be up.

What I have extracted out of the conversations here is that your =
management problems will increase, your cost will increase, your =
performance will decrease.   You should gain some increased  =
availability.  If I didn't summarize that right somebody should correct =
me.=20

Subject: Is RAC DOA?



I posed a question here last week wrt RAC and got one response.
Is there a concentration of RAC users elsewhere?  I find the=20
metalink forum practically worthless, which is probably another
strong indicator that RAC is dead.  Pricing issues, right?=20
