One of the tenants I've always adhered to when tuning RDBMS is that logfiles
and datafiles should always be on separate physical devices if at all
possible in order to exploit the nature of sequential reads vs. writes.

Is there any reason this strategy should not be applied to an IFX
installation?

What would you suggest as an optimal strategy (in broad strokes as I
understand much of this is situational...) for laying out datafiles vs.
logs?

Thanks Friends,

Tam.

It's one of the tenets I've adhered to. Adhering to tenants could be
considered stalking, you know. ;o)

I like to have a separate spindle (or spindles) each for root, llogs,
plogs, a different set for temp and a different set for data, as many
spindles as possible.

Of course, you can't always get that, but that's what I like.

I dunno.

Let's get the basics out of the way: are you a hot babe? If yes, then I
may charge in kind. Otherwise it'll be cash.
