Real life opinion from me:
Yes, Oxford is using it. Yes, it is faster. Yes it makes it practically impossible
to backup without a 3rd party backup tool. Yes, it is boring to chew "raw vs. cooked"
debate over and over again. Why doesn't someone come up with something new and not yet discussed topic like "RAID implementations and oracle"?

Hi all

I am looking for some "real life" opinions about Oracle raw I/O - are people using it, is there really a performance gain? Any other pros, cons?
I have seen some info on Metalink but "real life" often is quite different...

Thanks
