Re: Oracle Exadata - Clone for test/uat

And to just add a little fire under this- With all the flavors available from just Oracle and the confusion in some of the current docs about virtualization, it may be pertinent to discuss the differences between the following:

• Sparse Clone with Exadata
• Snap clone copy with multitenant
• Snap clone with ZFS
• gDBClone
• AND EM12/13c with thin clone features
