RE: RE: "Never split index and data files ..."

Steve,

Thanks, I stand corrected. Before your post, it was all the same to me.

I have personally never "bought in" to the Sun striping ideology. It has always seemed pre-cooked to best support what I consider to be weak I/O hw on vendor side.

Hi Ross,

The first principle of SAME is "Stripe all files across all disks ..." It is
those two "all"s that are definitive. What you did was intelligent broad striping with selective I/O separation. That's not "semi-SAME"; it's contra-SAME. The only thinking that SAME allows for is putting "hot" data like
redo logs on the outside of the disks (if you can).

SAME is all about sex appeal with almost no brain power. I would not even flirt
with it, let alone consider a long-term relationship.

I forgot to mention:

We assiduously separated table from index...across controller and channel...and we separated "hot" and "cold" data tspaces as well.

There's nothing like having enough disk and I.O.
