Hi,

I read the marketing hype and checked the documentation, but I want to know does ASM (Automatic storage management) in 10g really work? I'm looking at upgrading from 9i to 10g and one feature that does stand out is ASM, it sounds nice, but practically I want to know if anyone has used it and does it give you the benefits you expected? Easy management of tablespaces and improved disk access performance (I'm not keen on raw devices you see). Or is it like - well I never noticed the difference?.

Thanks for any feedback,
