Oracle RAC Interview Questions

Welcome to  Oracle RAC Interview Questions app, here you will get Interview Questions.

Oracle RAC allows multiple computers to run Oracle RDBMS software simultaneously while accessing a single database, thus providing clustering.

In a non-RAC Oracle database, a single instance accesses a single database. The database consists of a collection of data files, control files, and redo logs located on disk. The instance comprises the collection of Oracle-related memory and background processes that run on a computer system.

In an Oracle RAC environment, 2 or more instances concurrently access a single database. This allows an application or user to connect to either computer and have access to a single coordinated set of data. The instances are connected within each other through an "Interconnect" which enables all the instances to be in sync in accessing the data.
