Re: URGENT : database down at 01-APR-96 10:32:00

Hi netters,

i found an all porpose file that fits all my needs. It is on every computer so you don't have to buy, borrow it etc. I can write any amount of data to it, it expands automatically. I can make a backup of it on a single floppy disc. I never had a read error.

try: create tablespace universal datafile '/dev/null' autoextend on maxsize unlimited;

I hope this is useful for you too,

Toni

We have 20GB of disc which i sold shortly after i found this solution. I believe, if this trick goes round the world the disc manufactors will be in real trouble.
