Re: TAF and FCF together ?

TAF is an OCI feature exposed to Java through JDBC-OCI; the driver type
independent failover solution (works for both Thin and OCI) is FCF
which is based on RAC events.

Here is a brief comparison of the two (sorry for the display/layout).

FCF TAF
================== ===========================
Works for Both Client-side drivers Works only for JDBC-OCI

Rapid Node/Service Failure Rapid Node/Service Failure
Detection Detection

Connection Retry by Application Transparent Connection Retry
or Container and Query Retry

In-Flight Transactions Automatically Application must Roll
Rolled Back Back and notify TAF

Supports Dynamic Work Load No Support for Work Load
Balancing Balancing
I discuss Implicit Connection Cache, TAF, FCF and Runtime Connection
Load-Balancing in more details in chapter 7 in my book.

Hi All,

I am desperately trying to find answers on how to use these two
technologies togther. As per Oracle docs, I cant use them together -
unless I am misreading it.

Could anyone suggest how I might accomplish these two together in my
application. I can use thin or thick application.

With thick we can get TAF. With thin we can get FCF (fast connection
failover).

Thanks
