Oracle striping

As the DBA, you can achieve results similar to operating system striping by carefully allocating datafiles to individual devices or RAID-0+1 arrays. For example, to set up Oracle striping across four disks, do the following:

  • Create a tablespace with four datafiles, each located on a different device.

  • Create objects in the tablespace, specifying MINEXTENTS 4. Oracle will allocate the four extents on the four datafiles, thereby implementing striping. This action is not automatic; it can be accomplished by using the ALTER TABLE ... ALOCATE EXTENT command.

The Oracle striping technique is very powerful, especially when combined with Parallel Query, which will allow query processing by multiple CPUs.
