Past posts, Metalink, partitioning
Past posts, Metalink, partitioning
Three questions folks:
- I am about to ask a question probably asked before. Is there a web page
like there
was before for all past posts?
- Does metalink now suck or what? e.g. search for "OFA architecture".
- The biggy: What specifically is the usage of partitioning? I believe
it is an excellent technique for
managing OLTP environments. Concurrent access to large tables get
segragated to
different physical partitions. Backup is eased by taking individual
partitions offline for
backup. Queries can go at different disks for full scans by partition.
But in an environment where I am creating an OLAP
sub-data-warehouse, read-only,
one CPU host, can I go ahead and ignore partitioning?
Thank you knowledgeable ones.
