I'm so old I remember working on databases that were designed to use RAW, not files. I'm betting some databases still do, but probably only for mainframe systems nowadays.

> Oracle® Database Platform Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows Itanium (64-Bit)

Well, I guess that at least confirms Oracle on Itanium (!?) still supported RAW 5 years ago.

I'm guessing everyone's on ASM by now though, if they're still upgrading. I ran into a company not long ago with a huge oracle cluster that still employed physical database admins and logical database admins as separate roles...I would bet they're still paying millions for an out of date version of Oracle and using RAW.

I seem to remember Oracle 10g was first released over 20 years ago? It has been EOL for much longer than 5 years...
