Paul,
I believe you, which helps, because I wasn't inclined to take Oracle
tech support's word for it without them providing a more in depth
explanation. I would guess that getting a more in depth explanation
from them would be a bit of a wild goose chase.
1Gb data file sizes sounds good. Also,
Okay - before this one dies ... this incorporates my usual NT bias.
So you have a new box - with newly created NTFS volume - lets assume JBOD
and no hardware RAID.
They're empty. Completely.
You create new tablespaces with multple datafiles, each equal to 1 GB so
that your backup job can compress
