Oracle SCAN and converting from a single entry SCAN to DNS SCAN

SCAN load balances across the node listeners to connect to the instance that provides the best quality of service for a service. SCAN provides a transparency of the cluster structure as follows:
- You can add remove cluster nodes without modifying SCAN
