Place the tablespace datafiles on a striped volume(Raid 0,5,1+0,0+1). Yes you will improve performance by striping.

You can also implement manual striping by placing the datafiles in separate physical disks ,but its not a scalable soln and is certainly tedious.

its the same command you use to create a tablespace.

for eg)


SQL> create tablespace ts_striped datafile '/oradb01/dbatest/ts_stripe1.dbf' size 10m,
  2  '/oradb03/dbatest/ts_stripe2.dbf' size 10m;

Tablespace created.

where /oradb01 is a filesystem on say Disk1 and /oradb03 is a filesystem on say Disk3 . Now , you can say that this tablespace is striped across two disks.

-- Now lets create a table in this striped tablespace

SQL> drop table t;

Table dropped.

SQL> create table t tablespace ts_striped as select * from all_objects ;

Table created.

-- as seen below, this table is striped across two datafiles(and hence two disks(if thats actually the case))

SQL> select distinct e.file_id,f.file_name from dba_extents e,dba_data_files f where e.file_id=f.file_id and
  2  e.owner='THIRU' and e.segment_name='T';

   FILE_ID
----------
FILE_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        14
/oradb01/dbatest/ts_stripe1.dbf

        15
/oradb03/dbatest/ts_stripe2.dbf

-- This is an example of manual striping and is not the ideal or very scalable of doing striping. Almost always some form of RAID is used to implement striping.

as you saw, one extent was in one file and the 2nd extent on the other file. Again,this is just an example.

An extent is a contigous (supposedly) allocation of blocks. If the underlying filesystem consists of multiple physical disks(which is usally the case with RAID), they are spread across multiple disks.
