Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> data files - How big?
I am setting up a new linux server (redhat 6.2 & oracle 8i 8.1.7) with a
1Ghz Processor and 512Mb RAM. How large should individual data files in a
tablespace be allowed to grow? I can't find any advice on this in my oracle
manuals/books. Is there a data file size that starts to hurt oracle. I've
got one tablespace that will have 1-1.5 Gb of data. Should I allow a
datafile to grow to that size, or would oracle like it better if I split it
into 3 500Mb datafiles? Likewise, how should I handle the SYSTEM
tablespace? Should I leave it as 1 large datafile or should it be broken
into smaller ones?
I would also like to know what good oracle email lists are available to ask
dba related questions other than this one.
Thanks,
