[nylug-talk] Creating a Oracle cluster without using RAC and GFS

[Ezra Taylor]

All:
      To shed some light on what going on.  We have a client that
wants services that they can't afford.  Once the client found out how
much it will cost to build the Oracle Rac, they pulled away from it.
Lastly, I'm surprised that small companies are paying for Oracle
licenses.  I have no idea why they are not going with Mysql or
Postrgesql.
