Re: 9i RAC, Win 2K, and Raw Devices

Hi,

i don´t know what happens if the datafile runs out off space in the partition autoextending. (:)) (this advice is my own opinion so i may be wrong).

I´m running 817 OPS. I´ve configured my datafiles with no autoextends, maxextends unlimited, dictionary based tablespaces
to have more control over the database.
unfortunatly i´m not a guru so I´m doing what makes sense for me.  

regards
