I working on a data warehouse application where I've been advised by a performance tuning expert that I will want to use raw devices as opposed to normal UNIX file systems. There is much said about the pros and cons of raw, but little said about the % of sites using one over the other.

Please post a reply that states the following:

  Application
  DB size
  Number of users
  Platform (HW & OS)
  Oracle version
  Raw or Cooked

Also, if Oracle Corp. has some statistics about this topic, please reply with those as well. Thanks.    Received on Fri Aug 18 1995 - 00:00:00 CEST
