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

Famous quotes containing the word advantages:
“In 1845 he built himself a small framed house on the shores of Walden Pond, and lived there two years alone, a life of labor and study. This action was quite native and fit for him. No one who knew him would tax him with affectation. He was more unlike his neighbors in his thought than in his action. As soon as he had exhausted himself that advantages of his solitude, he abandoned it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
