Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Common Oracle RDBMS Misconceptions
Hi Jeremiah,
First, I believe it's a misconception that on a Unix system there can be no data lost in an Oracle DB from a system crash. This HAS to be a function of "syncer", doesn't it? And, therefore, until syncer decides any buffer writes actually go to disk, transactions can be toast. Granted, this is a very short time, but the possibility would still exist for a standalone Oracle DB, especially for one with a high transaction count. But I haven't seen any "official" info, whether true or false, from Oracle about this. Comments, anyone???
Second, I hope you're going to have explanations and/or qualifications (even brief ones!) about the misconceptions somewhere on your website? There's a few in your list that have me intrigued!
Thanks!

All right folks, I'm collecting misconceptions, of the type held by newbies
and
oldtimers alike. My OOW proposal this year is for a presentation and paper
on a
whole laundry list of these things, similar to what I wrote for hot backup.
I
want to share what I have so far and solicit input for your favorites (pet
peeves). I most certainly will credit individuals and this list for any
ideas I
glean.
