Many people regardless of if their database is oracle or sql server or something else don't take the time to understand how many spindles they have, where they come from exactly, etc.
Way back when in oracle most of the dba's did understand to get different disks and isolate their online log IO patterns from the rest of the database. Go back to reading the concepts manual if you don't get this part. Received on Mon May 26 2008 - 08:26:15 CDT
