Yawn.

"absolutely Not" is the correct answer.
"Never has been" is a statement of the truth
"it is entirely pointless" is correct -because Redo protects your data files
"never will be" -well, 'never' is a long time.  But it's not on the cards

right now, and I have yet to see any internal Oracle proposals for it to make it on the cards.

No. Do try and maintain accuracy in these things. I accused you of spouting subjective clap-trap. Which, with its 'should be's, and 'could be's was exactly what it was.

Once again, you signally fail to grasp the point. My statement was an accurate answer to his question. You then started wittering on about what other rdbms's do, and what you'd like to see Oracle have.

In summary: Mirroring of Datafiles:

. It's not currently there;
. For data protection it doesn't need to be there;
. There are no current plans within Oracle that I have seen for it to be put

there.

You may indulge your wish-list fantasies as much as you like -but don't confuse doing so with an assessment of facts.

End of discussion.
