Hi


Does anyone see any benefit to using Oracle 8's feature of partitioning
data in a RAID 5 environment?



As I understand it, partitioning allows you to move parts of a table
onto other disks thus spreading the IO of the table access.  However, if
your environment is completely RAID 5, how would this help?



Any info appreciated.  Please reply to topaze_at_travel-net.com if you have
any comments.



Thanks,



Ger
