data server question

[hokky]

Hi guys,

I got newbie question, I'm normally using oracle.

But I was just wondering about "data server"
I saw in my table the unix server and data server is different.
Can someone pls explain me about data server means and how it put in unix server?
or probably can give example compare to oracle to make it more sense to me.

Because in oracle we have one dedicated directory to handle all data in one unix server, so the unix server name and the name of where the oracle data put are the same.

Thanks guys,

Cheers,
