What is a Parallel Server
Multiple instances accessing the same database (Only In Multi-CPU environments)
Multiple instances accessing the same database (Only In single-CPU environments)
Multiple instances accessing the different database (Only In single-CPU environments)
Single instance accessing the multiple database (Only In Multi-CPU environments)
Oracle Parallel Server (now Real Application Clusters) allows multiple database instances running on different nodes in a multi-CPU environment to access a single, shared physical database. Single-CPU systems do not benefit from this architecture, and an instance cannot access multiple independent databases simultaneously.
