Daniel's pointing to the fact that IDS 11.10's MACH11 technology implementation provides only READ-ONLY service from the SDS secondaries. Other than that, a dubious advantage since using RAC secondaries in read-write configurations reduces the cluster's scalability significantly, there's nothing useful in RAC that's not in MACH11.

Don't get me wrong, but I will prefer to see DA Morgan's answer...
Undoubtedly he will search the net in search for arguments. The last time I bother to discuss something with him he found a lot of interesting stuff... Unfortunately most of it was easily usable to show that he was wrong (from prices to technical stuff) so he kept jumping from subject to subject, constantly searching for something right to say ( whether or not it was relevant to the original post).

So, although completely useless, because he will not stop, it's kind of fun from time to time... And since I'm just doing some work related to IDS (and replication by the way), it would be very interesting to me at this time...

As for the original post, this reminds me another flame a while ago... If someone is interested in moving to Oracle because of HA, someone should really find out what is really motivating them... Pay more and suffer a migration to gain nothing that eases their pain... sounds completely wrong...

And again... Checking an open beta does not mean we are saying them to move into a non available product... It just means that the new version will have significant changes in this area. We are all bound to non-disclosure agreements but it's very easy to find out what it is... Every version have a place where we can see the changes... and a beta version is not an exception :)
