This statement may be true for SQLServer but it is not for Oracle. As this thread is cross-posted to both groups, responders should be very clear in their replies about which technology solution they are talking about, especially when it comes to limitations

To the OP - for Oracle, you may want to check out the white papers etc at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/htdocs/storage_overview.html and at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/techlisting.html#DS

In particular, you may want to look at something called Automatic Storage Management
