RE: Simulate Database Writes

Great article! I'll be nabbing the code to test/compare our new storage systems (whenever it gets approved). :)

I few items though: This is the first that I've seen a recommendation for raw on the redo volumes. Are there any issues with having the redos on raw if the archives are cooked? Any issues of raw redos that would be different from having raw datafiles?

Thanks again!
