As an independent software developer designing a laboratory
information system, one of the unexpected responsibilties I have
encountered is playing the role of DBA. This is OK ... except that I
have no experience in this area at the moment. One of my major
concerns, of course, is that the system runs smoothly and doesn't run
out of space. I noticed a file that was about 3GB in size on the
disk. Unfortunately I'm at home right now and can't remember the name
(controlsys.ora??). My question for anyone who cares to respond, is
are there any techniques and/or tasks that I could/should perform to
clear out wasted space? Like log files or something like that ... do
they grow and have to be cleaned?
Thanks ... if you could, respond also to jjcardella_at_hotmail.com
