Manage the log storage through the ardb.conf file. Don't let the dba do it directly on the db. This will cause endless headaches for you and them. Probably the best approach would be:
- set up the server - create the ardb.conf file to define the log storage - have the dba's manually move the lobs while arserver is stopped - start arserver You will more than likely need to experiment with the ardb.conf and some test forms to make sure you get the syntax right. Taking this approach (the best I can see at the moment) has several advantages: - installer gets to run as it normally would - dba's feel cozy because they witnessed the relocation of the lobs - the lobs will be managed on an ongoing basis by the ardb.conf file Some things to keep in mind: - you will need to update the ardb.conf every time a new lob is added (prior to adding the lob); failure to do so will cause the lob to be stored in the same tablespace as tables/indexes - the ardb.conf file had some issues in 6.0.1 with length limitations on the clauses (300 something characters). I am not sure if this issue exists in the later releases Some other things your dba's may want to look into as far as performance tuning if you go this route (these are possible using the ardb.conf file as well): - index storage - table/index partitioning Axton Grams On 2/12/07, Tucker, Rob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
