Used to be issues with sequences that the app needed to be prepared for. Improvement made over the years, but I don't think enough to be considered black box. (Multiple nodes pulling and caching sequences). From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Chris King Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2014 2:14 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: why are some applications oracle but not RAC compatible? Can anyone tell me why an application would be compatible with oracle but not rac? I'm assuming it must have to do with connectivity, but not sure why that isn't transparent to all applications?
