    Anyone had any good experiences with SQL 2005 training with Clusters. I am in St. Louis, and training for this is a little thin. I thought there was some in Colorado or Chicago

    sql server 2005 to oracle

    Anyone had any luck with 3rd party vendors going from sql 2005 to Oracle 9. I have heard some of the 3rd part offerings are much faster than the MS or Oralce solutions

    I thought you could but I have concerns. One application, all db's doing different function. The problem is that on the active/active there will be a db that the oltp is on. The other db server would be a logging server, which does and audit log of each transaction. The other db server is a...

    Cluster 2005 and another instance

    We have a 3rd pary app coming in that needs to run on several sql 2005 Servers. Our network ops wants to run one active/active cluster and then another instance of sql 2005 on the same box. I didn't think this was possible? Any opinions appreciated

    How to verify tags in non-xml
