Automatic Storage Management - Advantages For Database Administrators

Advantages For Database Administrators

• Database administrators see a familiar interface: SQL*Plus
• Interaction with ASM happens through commands that closely resemble standard SQL
• DBAs can assign data, log, control and other Oracle database files to a specific disk group without bothering about the physical location of the disks that constitute a disk group
• If a disk group runs out of space, an administrator can add an additional disk to the disk group without needing to copy/move data, regardless of where exactly data lives on the physical disks
