RE: working with datafile > 2Gb in HadHat 7.3

I read something about Oracle on Windows not being able to extend past the 2G limit, but haven't verified.

I believe it has to do with Oracle on Windows, not windows or hardware.

Ltiu,

>>Intel hardware can only handle 2Gb files sizes max.

Are you sure? I don't think that's true.

It doesn't really matter what OS you have. Intel hardware can only handle 2Gb files sizes max. Even if the hardware can support large files, it is still recommended that you do not have large datafiles. You

need to partition your tablespaces into multiple datafiles. This facilitates backups and restores and you can put the datafiles into different hard drives increasing i/o performance.
