I was looking for opinions on using segments in SQLserver 6.5. The MS
documentation recommend's using RAID verse's segments. I guess i'm
looking to duplicate the functionality of the Rdb storage areas,
segments seem to be the closest thing. The database i'm working with
supports a revenue reporting application. Basically it has one very
large table and several medium size tables. I would like to isolate the
large table on a set off fast wide scsi disk's since it's the most active
table.
thanks,
Peter

The only thing we have seen that is a concern with segmenting, is
MAKE SURE YOU CAN RECOVER YOUR BACKUP.
THere have been a couple of cases where we were able to restore
successfully a segmented database.
Also for 'speed', consider hardware RAID 0+1 rather than RAID 5.
The performance is 10-20% better.
