Paul,

They are RAID 4. And WAFL is their own proprietary system and you have very little control over allocation. You don't need to worry about it. (or so the

sales rep and engineer said)

>Hi folks;
> We have an Analyze running that is taking forever. Here is the setup:

> The table is normally 100,000 rows
> The table has grown to over 4,000,000 rows.
> There is one index on 1 column.
> We used the Compute Statistics options
