But that would require Oracle software to be installed on all the grids, don't you think? I'm really curious how they are going to pull this off.

The answer comes from the fairly recent knowledge that, in our universe, every particle has a matching particle; and changing one of the particles results in a change in the other particle. Well, the solution to trying to shove data all over the grid becomes obvious: One need only establish central management of the matching particles that make up the CPU and memory of all the computers involved. Initially, this would seem to be a daunting task ... until we recall that Larry is God. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Stephen Lee INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
