Sure. However, I would put one copy of the control file on another disk even if it is local to the box.



I ask this, because performance will decrease when the number of control files increase and vice versa. Creating only one, would be best (performance wise), but I think that's a bit tricky!

Is this a question or a statement? Any performance degradation (very little) is well worth the safety you get by putting another copy of your control file on another physical disk.



A penny for your thoughts...

I accept paypal if that's convenient...
