Hi Andreas,
As OS I plan to use Red Hat Linux. I tried windows and I jammed my pc
like I never seen a computer jammed before.
It's been a good while since I did any DBA so I never heard of ASM
before, but it looks like I'd better jump on the bandwagon.
I think the most important for the DBA is to keep the database down for
as little as possible in case of disk or controller failure, so I want
to see how to rebuild the ASM configuration using a spare disk (but
maybe it's already been taken care of since you mention "failure
disks").
But I also want to benchmark Oracle vs MySQL in terms of performance
and ease of three-tier (Apache and PHP) application building and using
(it's only a test database, that's why the redo will be on the same
disk for a while).
Also I want to write DVD-RW UDF sequential writing archived logs redo
code, either using a C library or finding a tool (something like Nero
for Linux) that accepts parameters in the command line. I didn't find
any Java package that deals with UDF yet. I don't know if UDF works
over an USB line.
So at the moment the first step is to find a tower case high enough to
accept all those disks.
I been to the biggest computer retail store in Paris and the salesman
told me to go IDE.
You save me a lot of troubles; many thanks :-)
J.B.
PS: If u want to sample the Beaujolais nouveau next Thursday, avoid the
"Dubeuf", it's a fake.
