- with SAP-DB you can have mirrored DATADEV-Spaces on different
harddisks(loose your harddisk with postgres and you will know)
- with SAP-DB you can have mirrored LOGDEV-Spaces on different
harddisks
- with SAP-DB you can have raw-devices
(higher performance, safer transaction handling)
- with SAP-DB you can do backups without disturbing the normal work
- with SAP-DB you can reconstruct a destroyed DB with your LOG
All this are so called "Enterprise Features". That is what Flemming
means with: ...question of what you need...
Regards
Lutz
