Has anyone read the articles?  One point states that failover for RAC
requires coding changes to take advantage of it.  Not from the demo I saw.
HPaq (or whoever they are these days) took a circa '99 Oracle test GUI
called Oracle Workload Generator and got failover to work with only changes
to the sqlnet.ora.  I've seen the demo twice, once with Unix servers and
once with Windohs servers (since the app is Windohs, the client had to be
Windohs), and while the Unix did the failover much faster (1-2 secs vs.
20-30 secs), both worked seamlessly.  As an aside, the load balancing
queries worked flawlessly, too.

So, what's the case for code changes?

Makes me want to read the articles further...

FYI 
One of my friends at Microsoft, (yes I must to 
confess, I have friends at MS) gave me a "present", 
it's a 4 cd's kit called "SQL Server 2000 for the 
Oracle Customer", the kit consist in 4 cd's with 
demos, docs, presentations, videos and a lot of stuff 
showing why sql server is a better option as a DB 
instead oracle, contains price lists, performance 
evaluation and many other "information", maybe you'd 
like to spend some of your time giving Billy a chance 
to defend his product. The 4 cd's are available 
(almost completely) as links in: 
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/oraclekit 
Any comments?
