The point is that there is little to offer in way of answering your original question. And the little bit of information you did provide sounds so much like the many
just-out-of-college-web_guru-now-dba-on-Oracle posts that we have to wonder. Now with your additional information, I really wonder why the manager hired you when there are experienced Oracle folks around. Try rereading my post, I was making a comment about the hiring manager, not you.

But since you brough it up. If you are the DBA, yet you cannot find out how to add space to the databasebase as needed, or what partioning of tables can get you, or any of a dozen other DBA tasks I have to wonder.

You never mentioned ORACLE version, hosting platform. You only hint about size (500k records per DAY is not necessarily BIG).

(Boy I've been in a grouchy mood recently.)

Finally, FYI, this group is not really supported. The official groups are

comp.databases.oracle.server
comp.databases.oracle.misc
comp.databases.oracle.tools
comp.databases.oracle.marketplace

Some servers still carry this group, but you'll get wider support posting in the appropriate one of those four.

Sorry you took offense. Rephrase your question and you'll get a better response.

good luck.
