RE: Oracle9i data file size limitations on HPUX 11.11

For a scientific answer, the test should be performed at least 10 times. Posting just the average time is enough if there is no more than 2% difference in the results. Otherwise I would like an examination of the differences, eg the tape operator fell asleep while changing the tapes in the robot, or other root causes of different resulting elapsed times. Best regards,
