How does Oracle deal with large tables? I am an Oracle novice and am curious about how large tables work. I have a large set of flat files about 13 of them containing names and addresses etc, nice simple data but lots of it. The 13 files average about 1.8GB each. Solaris 2.5.1 has a file size max of 2.0GB. How does Oracle deal with this volume of data? I have a large amout of disk space available 16*9GB SCSI disks. I am assuming that all data loaded into a table can be spread evenly over all the disks. As I mentioned I am a novice, am I jumping the gun a bit here, should I read more docs first before I attempting this sort of thing.
