I'm leaning towards calling this monstrosity a data parking of a sort. Just trying to figure out the best way to build the parking lot. Gary Weber -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 5:07 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L What you have is a database that only supports full table scans and only allows "cold" full database backups and "cold" full database restores. Hopefully, you're never just seeking anything less than a full file, there are no referential-integrity issues between the files, and the availability requirements allow the data to be completely quiesced (no updates at all, just reads) while those cold backups are running. Even with a week between individual cycles, adding more load/update cycles can really make a week disappear...
