I'm a little confused as to a current configuration and wondered if this
was accurate or not. Running a PS 4.0 farm on W2K3. My general
understanding of the summary database and data collector is essentially
all of the servers in the farm have a local rm database. The designated
data collector collects summary data from the other servers. If there
are multiple zones, each data collector for their respective zone does
the collection and then sends that data to the datastore once every 24
hours. 
 
 
If I'm wrong on the above, then disregard the rest until I get it right.

If correct, then proceding....the datastore can be a SQL db or Oracle.
In this case an oracle DB so the data collectors needs a system DSN
defined. My question is if the majority of the servers just pass along
data to the data collectors, do any of those needs a system dsn and
oracle client installed OR just the designated data collectors?
