Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: SAME and separating disk and index tablespaces
Vikas,
Spend an hour on reading this usenet thread:
It will open your eyes about separating data/index.
Still not sure about the redolog stream...Because of the sequential nature of redologfiles. I've read tests that 'prove' it doesn't matter much whether you separate your redolog from 'ordinary' datafiles or not. It does simplify things when you pure SAME.
Regards,
Hans

Thanks Gaja ! Does it also make sense from a performance perspective (I/O issues due to concurrent access of index and data ) to separate them or is that point moot once you apply the SAME methodology ?

Vikas,
The answer is an enthusiastic yes. This is purely from an administrative and manageability standpoint. For example, if you have INDEX and DATA segments separated in 2 different tablespaces, the backup of these tablespaces can be done INDEPENDENTLY. This is relevant, as if you were to rebuild your indexes using the NOLOGGING option between 2 backup jobs. If that were the case, then all you will need to do after the rebuild is complete, is to backup only the INDX tablespace.
This is a best practice (if not a requirement) in most production shops, unless you think you can re-re-build your indexes in the event of media failure and you lose your INDX tablespace.
Hope that helps,
Gaja
