I need to understand Oracle RAC and Grid infrastructure, from a manager's / training perspective.
I see links here and here, so a couple questions:
- what's the basic difference from a layman's (e.g., a manager's) perspective ?
- What training options are available for a generic 11g DBA to learn this new technology ? I've seen this course from an Oracle partner ("Course:Oracle 11g: RAC and Grid Infrastructure Administration Accelerated Release 2"), for a boat load of money, for 5 days I think. So we're looking for something a little more reasonable (and accessible), e.g., books, online, etc.
