Re: Oracle 8i for NT work with FAT ?

To follow your arguments one must tell oracle can not work on raw devices because it have no NTFS recover capabilities.

/*it is a fact that NTFS *could* save you from having to recover a database where FAT could not*/

 One more time - NTFS recover capabilities have effect for NTFS FAT catalog, not for files itself.

Please, refer to NT admin guide.
