Re: XPS to IDS - a positive note for all from the road
In the XPS to IDS thread, another poster said he meant spreading one database across multiple machines for tasks too big for one. Fernando Nunes replied that RAC does not do that but DPF and XPS do, and IDS could not without application changes or distributed views. Mark Townsend questioned this and Obnoxio The Clown mocked the exchange. Unresolved.

RAC will not do that. DPF and XPS do. IDS could not do that without customizing the application/query unless you are willing to work with distributed views...
