Could you give some examples (or at least one good one) of where RAID won't save you?
I ask because my system's group is pushing to get RAID technology for the database
partly because they claim it will keep the database up even if we lose a drive. I
just have this funny feeling that it sounds too easy (much like the original poster
on this subject) but I need something concrete about pitfalls and disadvantages
or else I'd like to hear more from people who have used Raid and Oracle and have seen
significant advantages.
Thanks.
