Ok I understand more now. Oracle installs have definitely gotten a lot larger with the last several releases.

Yes you can find ways to cut down on the size of the install. But that has a learning curve and requires some time.

But you have lots of space already ...

My advice if you are just playing around is not include oracle in your backups ... you can always re-install ( guess working on the train is play around eh? ).

As long as you backup what you are testing and developing and can re-populate your database with a fresh export from some other source ... what's the worry? Received on Fri Apr 08 2005 - 18:00:55 CDT
