Dear List,
I posted this questions to perl.dbi.users but I understand that the
mailing list is a better place to get information.
I am experiencing a problem in which, when one node of my 11g RAC fails,
all the connections to that node get hung for a while. Some
applications support transparent failover, but Googl'ing around suggests
that DBD::Oracle doesn't. For example,
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_dbi_dbd_features.htm
says "No failover capabilities whatsoever are built in DBD::Oracle."
Now, I'm hoping that's just an old article; it's about version 1.17.
I can give more details about what my particular database and client
versions are, but I'd rather not. If the answer is categorically "no" I
won't bother, and if it's "yes, in certain circumstances" I'm willing to
work to make those circumstances obtain.
Thanks for your help,
dave
