Hi all,

I've read an interesting section in Oracle Docu (Tuning I/O):

---
Separating Tables and Indexes

It is not necessary to separate a frequently used table from its index.
During the course of a transaction, the index is read first, and then
the table is read. Because these I/Os occur sequentially, the table and
index can be stored on the same disk without contention. 
---

Why do you then recommend to separate tables and indexes to different
disks?

Thanks
        Mike
