Best practice for datafile size on Windows and SAN

edited Feb 22, 2010 8:31PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered ✓
Some rumour say that 32bit windows has performance problem when handling datafiles > 4gb. My system has blocksize 8k implying a maximum file size of 32gb. Storage is on SAN. Database is 10g.
In the case of both SAN & physical disks are there any guidelines that you would suggest for datafile size?
Can you also suggest any best practice specific for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows?
Thank you!

Howdy, Stranger!
