That's funny; there were no questions on partitions of any sort in any of the 5 exams that I took, nor do I remember them on the 8i study guides.

The one I love the best is the section in the performance & tuning exam which asserts that OLTP needs small block sizes and DSS needs large, which is directly contradicted by www.ixora.com.au (filesystem buffer size).

Oracle, you should be ashamed of yourself.
