Having dealth with RAC, I can safely say that the application points for such a cluster are really pretty narrow, and often it's far cheaper and easier to solve such a problem by just buying a bigger pair of servers and replicating them than to use the shared storage method. I've seen plenty of problems with RAC, especially on linux, having much worse performance than the two big server setup. Plus, given the cost of Oracle RAC licenses, you can build a couple of pretty farking huge pg servers. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
