All,

Awhile back, on the "other" list, there was a discussion regarding the number of data files that an Oracle database might contain.

Someone posted a warning that too many data files might actually hurt performance in that it might inflate the amount of work to be done at SCN update time.

How would I test this? What "wait value" might be too high to indicate that this is taking too long?

I am not having an immediate problem, but know of a group that might be.

thanks for any help
