Which drive to install db application on?

I have a win7x64 machine (xeon processor 8GB RAM) with a standard 7200rpm hdd for the C: drive and a RAID 1+0 array (also composed of 7200rpm hdds). Obviously I want my data on the RAID array, thats what its for. Do I also want the Oracle application on the RAID array or do I want it on the C: drive with Windows?
I've heard alternating theories but the general consensus is "It's Oracle, who knows?", so I'm hoping someone on the Oracle forum might. Thanks guys.

Thank you for your replies, let me clarify. When I install Oracle 11g dB I am required to provide two paths:
Oracle base, which I presume is where the application files go
And so I presume that by "application" you mean Oracle itself - the Oracle binaries, etc.
and
Database file location, which I presume is where the data goes.
I know I want the data on the RAID array. The question is, from a performance stand point, where do I want the application? On the RAID array with the data, or on C: with Windows. The C: is 500GB so I have absolutely no concerns about filling it up. My concern is read/write performance to/from my database.
From a strictly performance standpoint, the answer is "it depends", and it depends on so many variables that it is impossible to say at this point. I'd be surprised if it made an appreciable difference.
From an administrative standpoint, many SA's like to reserve the c: partition for the OS only. This helps prevent the OS partition from fillling up, and fences it off from everything else.
Pgoel, you say I want the application on the RAID array. I do not disagree, but do you have any supporting logic/evidence?
Thanks.

  • How do I choose which drive to install adobe programs to?

    I just bought a new SSD for my computer and want to install my adobe programs to it but I can't find the option to choose which drive I want to install it to.

    Finder is going to have to start at each bootup. It's how you interact with Mac OS X.
    Follow Keppy's instructions above if you have other programs that you want to load at start up.

  • "no drive found" installing w 8.1 on SSD on Flex 2 15

    Dears, I've been going crazy for 1 week, trying and trying everything to make a clean installation of Windows 8.1 64bit on an SSD I bought for my Flex 2 15. I've read thousands of pages of forums, changed 3 different SSDs, but nothing was successfull!(Crucial MX100, Crucial BX100, ADATA SP920SS) every time, during the W8.1 Setup Wizard, it displays "No hard drive found" when I have to choose in which drive to install the OS. My Lenovo Flex 2 15 came with Windows 8.1 pre-installed on a WD hard disk. Please help me.

    solved this issue just......changing the SSD I bought a Samsung 840 EVO and it works correctly. Tried Crucial M550 (listed as compatible on Crucial website), Crucial MX1100, ADATA, but nothing with Samsung no issues.

  • Please install Apple Application Support

    Hello everyone,
    I need some help here because every time I try to open up iTunes or try to open up Quicktime I keep getting this annoying error message which states "Please install Apple Application Support." As an alternative I can run my personal Quicktime movie files and iTunes music using Windows Media Player but when it comes to watching my purchased iTunes Movies or TV Shows its a NO GO most likely because they are encrypted and can only be authorized through a Apple product which puts me in a predicament of a) Not being able to watch my movie or TV purchases from iTunes, b) Not having the ability to access iTunes to purchase episodes of my favorite TV shows and movies when they become available. I've already gone to the Apple Support site and followed the instructions to completely uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime (In that order) and then reinstalled them (In that order) but I keep getting this same error message so If anyone can provide assistance ASAP I'd really... really... appreciate it.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes (similar to those above) and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally.

  • How to know which type of jdbc driver used in my application

    How to know which type of jdbc driver used in my application.

    My approach will be....
    Type1: you have to have ODBC s/w install on your machine...even the connection string starts with jdbc:odbc....so it can be identifed easily
    Type2: you have to install client s/w in your machine...if you are using oracle oci driver ...you need to install oracle client s/w
    Type3: you use servername / port to connnect to middleware
    Type4: you do not need any client s/w
    So, If your application works without any client s/w on your machine....you might be using Type4/Type3 driver.....otherwise Type2
    Someone pls add more ....

  • Trying to install SL on a new hard-drive for my iMac, when asked which disk to install on it gave me no options, i followed advice from another forum and created a partition, now can't boot from the new drive at all. Help?

    I've had **** with my iMac, the hard-drive failed so i replaced it with a new 1TB Samsung drive. Then when i tried to install SL from the install disk, all went to plan until it asked me which drive i wanted to install it on, where it came up with a box where my options should have been, but instead it didn't give me any options to install it on any drive i.e. it asked which drive i wanted to install it on but no drives came up to select.
    So i followed the advice from another forum, look at the 'Extended Hard-drive preparation' response
    ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/10576009#10576009 )
    After following these instructions i have now got a new partition, but when i restarted my computer to install SL on the drive, the option to boot from the drive is now not available, now i must boot from the install disk, whereas before i was able to boot from either the install disk or the hard drive. The hard drive is still visible in disk utility as it always has been, but i am now unable to boot from it, let alone install SL.
    Please help my iMac has been broken for months and i've been trying to fix it for so long and am getting problem after problem. Thank you!

    Hi db2
    That off the shelf MS-DOS / FAT-32 drive needs to re-partitioned GUID Partition Table / Mac OS Extended (Journaled) before you can install OS X and Startup your Intel iMac from it.
    1. Boot from your original install or retail SL DVD and open Disk Utility.
    2. Highlight the new HD in the list of drives and select the Partition tab.
    3. Under Volume Scheme select 1 Partition and click on the Options... button.
    4. Select GUID Partition Table in the drop down window and click OK.
    5. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Apply button.
    6. Once thats done, then you can do a clean SL Install, Restore from TM , your old HD or  Bootable Clone.

  • Which driver on the Install DVD is for HFS+ read in Windows?

    I installed Windows 7 Enterprise x64 on my MacBook of course about a week before Snow Leopard was released and have already gone through the tedious, time consuming process of getting all of the Windows drivers working for Win7x64. I really don't want to go through installing all of the various drivers again one by one (especially since I JUST did this) until I see the MAC partition in my Windows side (BootCamp) if at all possible... so does anyone know WHICH driver it is that will allow the HFS+ partition read? I really don't want to mud up my fresh Win7 installation by re-installing every BootCamp driver from the AppleOS CD. Thank you guys in advance, I really appreciate the help.

    Yes Windows can, Leopard comes with the drivers for Windows to view HFS+. It does not need 3rd party software anymore as I have personally done this on another mac in the office. I went through and installed ALL drivers all at the same time though, so I don't know which one is the one that allows this. In Windows, it displays the MAC partitions as drive letters and you can read the partitions, you cannot write, just like NTFS.

  • HT1364 I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive.  What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

    I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive.  What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

    If the entire library is on the external drive then simply copy the iTunes folder into <User's Music> on the new computer, then install iTunes. If you've already installed iTunes you will want to remove the empty iTunes folder in <User's Music> first.
    If it turns out you only have the media folder on the external drive then take a look at this post...

    I am using my iphone 4s here in dubai.Do i have to install any application to use siri..?? Coz i tried using them and i alwayz get ans which are not relevant.Please advise.

    No Siri is preinstalled.  Check you have enabled Siri correctly in Settings>General>Siri>ON and ensure you have completed the My Info correctly.  Siri uses the information in your My Info which is taken from your contact card to respond. Also Siri is still in beta and currently uses limited languages i.e.
    English (United States, United Kingdom, Australia)
    French (France)
    German (Germany)
    Finally just check your restrictions in Settings>General>Restrictions>Siri>ON
