Cluster-Aware ODBC and OCI Client Applications for Oracle Fail Safe Solutions

Overview This white paper describes how to create cluster-aware ODBC and OCI client applications for use with Oracle database servers configured with Oracle Fail Safe on Windows NT and Windows 2000 Microsoft Cluster Server clusters. The target audience is application designers, developers, and database administrators. System downtime can happen at any time (planned maintenance or unplanned outages); however, the business and economic impact of downtime can be minimized by combining a highly available database solution, such as Oracle9i with Oracle Fail Safe, with "Cluster-aware" client applications that automatically reconnect to the database after a failure and replay any transactions that were rolled back during database recovery.
