I thought the NTFS limit was much larger than that (at least 2TB). We have = a 16GB datafile that we have exported and imported on SP5. Why would it be = any faster to get 8 2GB datafiles from tape for a tablespace than 1 16GB = one?

Hi.

NT Server 4.0 has a hard limit (NTFS) of 16 GB. Funny how we found that one out ... it turned out to be the brakes for a temporary tablespace's datafile on a runnaway process.

What version of Oracle - I know with 8.1.6 you can tell exp to use = multiple
files of a certain slice size ...

Getting off-track here, but I can't think of any reason that anyone would ever want to think about having a 16 GB datafile, through. How long to get tht back from tape? Received on Fri Nov 10 2000 - 12:21:25 CST
