Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain 3 Gb is not all that big. What platform is this on, can it handle larger files? Why is 3 Gb chosen as size below, as opposed to 2 or 4? What is your backup window, if any, and required recovery time?   Fwiw, I have one of the databases (DW) on HPUX 64bit with 4 and 6 Gb datafiles, residing happily on EMC Symmetrix...   Gary Weber   -----Original Message-----From: root@fatcity.com [mailto:root@fatcity.com]On Behalf Of Rocky WelchSent: Friday, February 02, 2001 4:20 PMTo: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: Who wants to build a tablespace...
