RE: Cooked vs Raw devices

Hi Ron,

My opinions on the matter are well known, so I will not repeat them on the list. However, you can read them on the Ixora web site at http://www.ixora.com.au/tips/creation/raw_log_files.htm and http://www.ixora.com.au/tips/creation/raw_datafiles.htm.

List,
At my last interview I was asked about "cooked" and "raw" devices for the storage and the advantages/dis-advantages of each. AS a DBA should I be concerned about the type of storage the os has? Needless to say I didn't get the job offer.... Could anyone direct me to the answers to the questions or explain it in layperson terms.
Thanks.
ROR mª¿ªm
