Dear all,
Our application needs a bit of database redundancy.
Our application only accesses database for reading purposes.
We want to have two databases in separate machines. Incase one database
server dies the application should automatically extract data from the
other server.
Is there any JDBC driver available so that it can detect failure in the
main database server and then tries to extract data from the standby
database server?
Kind regards
This functionality is available in sqlnet as transparent application
failover (TAF). If you use the ordinary jdbc driver you should be able
to use this without problem, providing you do your homework with
respect to standby databases and TAF and don't start experimenting
'somewhere'
