I attended ORACLE seminal and speaker mention ORACLE RAC check each node "PMON" to decide "load balance". He also suggest use "connection pool (mid tier)" for load balance instead of client/server. I don't quite understand what he said and have some questions: 1. How to check "PMON" to know each node system load? 2. why "connection pool" will have better loas balance? Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!
