Re: optimal RAID configuration

When you're mainly doing reads RAID5 is no problem, this only can be problematic with WRITE intensive TX. Therefore files such as REDO logs, ARCHIVE logs and RBS should NOT be put on RAID5 (with RAID5 the write operation have to write on several disks while the read can read from any of these disks).

So it depends on your application/DB behaviour whether you use RAID5 or RAID0/1... Received on Sun Sep 06 1998 - 15:35:16 CDT
