Raw disk usage for Oracle 8

Hello all!



Newbie question: I have been given to understand that Oracle does not
support raw disk


usage. I find it hard to believe that Oracle could compete against
Sybase and Informix


with such a serious disk I/O bottleneck.



Can someone clarify this for me: Must all Oracle instances use "cooked
system" files as


opposed to "raw devices"? Thanks,



Sandeep
