Oracle Managed Files để làm gì?

Oracle Managed files option will enable Oracle to automatically generate the names of the datafiles for simplified database management.

Use Oracle-Managed Files

Select this option to simplify the administration of your Oracle database. Oracle-Managed Files eliminate the need for you, the DBA, to directly manage the operating system files comprising an Oracle database. You specify operations in terms of database objects rather than filenames. Oracle internally uses standard file system interfaces to create and delete files as needed for tablespaces, redo log files, and control files. 

Instead, you provide only the path to the Database Area, which serves as the root directory where the database stores its database files. 

When you select this option, you can also multiplex the redo logs and control files. Click Multiplex Redo Logs and Control Files to identify multiple locations where duplicate copies of the files can be stored. Multiplexing provides greater fault-tolerance for the redo log and control file, if one of the destinations fails. 

Unlike the other options on this page, when you select this option, you cannot make modifications to the database files names on the Storage page, which is available later in the Database Configuration Assistant.
