Hi out there.  



I am working as the DBA on a new OLTP application.  I need some help with
deciding whether we should use RAW devices.  This is a 7X24 mission
critical app, running on some flavor of UNIX, using Oracle8.  We anticipate
a very high volume of transactions.



How can I determine if RAW devices are the answer to improving performance?
 Are there any other paths I should consider before jumping to RAW devices?



Thank you for your help.
