Common practice. Oracle's CBO is not perfect, and no optimizer
will ever be perfect.
Oracle will gladly sell you tools ($$$) to help out with the
areas where CBO is confused.
We got EMC because we know how smoothly it works. Cache never fills, i/o distributes automatically. So if there is a problem, it's got to be a database issue.
Sarcasm? On this list?
