Ruth:

Get a copy of the Oracle8i DBA Handbook by Loney & Theriault. Chapter 4's topic is Physical Database Layouts. It goes from 22 disks down to 7.

Hope this helps,

Ken

Subject:        stripes,  partitions, and spindles

Good morning all,

We have purchased new IBM AIX boxes and the guy whole sold them to us is here puting them together. ( He used to work for IBM.) The question rises again, do I put my tablespaces on separate spindles, e.g. Data on one, Data2 (big extents) on 2, Index1, Index2 all on separate spindles or do I stipe everything. We are planning to partition or largest table (bottleneck) after the duhvelopers figure out how to do it.

We will have plenty of spindles for system,redo, etc.

I need some good arguments for each. I don't really think the ex-IBMer should have the final word.

We have a three-tier application which all employees use and nightly batch processing. We have two databases which run separately during the day and communicat with each other at night through db_links. Everything runs through this one huge table (it is like a general ledger).

The boss says she has run a stiped Oracle database in the past but doesn't really know if this is the best.

I will be eternally grateful for all info.

TIA,
Ruth
