Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> How does oracle write to datafiles?
Hi,
I have a performance question about how oracle writes to datafiles. If I
have a Tablespace (A) and I have 2 datafiles in it, each being on the same
disk, does oracle attempt to write to both datafiles at the same time like a
striped disk when inserts are being done? Or does it write to each datafile
randomly filling each evenly as time goes on. Would there be a benefit to
put each datafile on totally separate disks? Would there be a performance
increase? Why, why not? If someone has a white paper on how oracle does
this, that would be great. Thanks in advance...
