Slightly OT, but you may want to instruct your dba's to set the oracle instance parameter 'cursor_sharing' to similar or force. This will greatly reduce the size requirements of oracle's shared pool and greatly reduce hard parses.
This whitepaper covers some of the details: http://documents.bmc.com/supportu/documents/78/31/67831/67831.pdf My favorite quote from this doc: "Any application that uses all literals without cursor sharing enabled is not a very scalable application."

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: > > ** We are getting ready to stand up ITSM 7 on Oracle 10G. > > My DBA's want to relocated all the lobs in particularly HPD:Help Desk > > I grew up with SQL Server and am not: > > > - Sure what it is they are wanting to do > - Sure that Remedy will allow them to do what they are planning to > do > > Is there anyone out there who would shout "NO!
