RE: Datafile size policy

I keep to an agreement with my SA to keep our Compaq Tru-64 db data files under 2GB.
Main reason is to be able to squish test dbs into different-sized spaces on our test systems.
Might be old-fashioned, now that we have larger arrays. Now the policy just keeps us flexible and happy.

Some folk, I believe, have a policy of keeping datafiles to a max size of 500MB to facilitate maintenance of systems, backups, recovery etc. Do you agree with this policy and if so why/why not?.

Sean :)
