So here are two takes at the problem, one takes a look at costly (in regards to amount of redo) tables and the other indexes. Note this is only a way to guestimate this information. select owner, table_name, round((ratio_to_report(ttl) over ()) * 100, 1) as percent_ratio from (

Your Oracle sales person is incorrect. I would ask him to see if he can actually prove it. Oracle provides clustering components for Linux and NT only at this time. Oracle does provide a RACpatch for SC2.2 and 3.0 with 9iR2 and that patch needs to be installed after you install SC and before

Yes, that is what I was saying, however large rows or tables with a lot of indexes would also be prone to generate more redo, that is why I suggest joining DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS to DBA_TABLES to get avg_row_len and DBA_IND_COLUMNS to get the total # of columns indexes on the table, the thought
