I've attempted to destroy Ingres installations since 1984, and never have I found a real good reason to mess with the underlying files in a way that I need to know which file(s) is for which table. Now with Oracle, you have segments that are mapped into tablespaces that are comprised of 1 to many files. How does that seem any better?
