Hi,
Is there any way to keep each database in separate partition ie)
separate folder for each database.
I would like to do the dabase level backup in storage side, for that If
I am able to separate the database in folderwise, I can allocate
separate partition for each database. Then I can take the backup in each
partition.
Your recommendation and suggestion are welcome.
Regards
Karthikeyan.N

I guess tablespace will be of your use and also you can directly use
softlink to link database directory in data/base<databaseoid> to the
desired folder.

You can use tablespaces to separate things on disk but it
won't make taking filesystem level backups as easy as you
might hope.
