Friends, Anybody knows for sure what the relation between PROCESSES and SESSIONS parameters (I am not talking of the SESSIONS=1.1*PROCESSES+5), and the counts from v$process and v$session views are ? I guess that once the number of processes in v$processes reaches PROCESSES parameter value, new sessions are not allowed any more, but I am not sure. Docs says that PROCESSES is the "maximum number of operating system user processes that can simultaneously connect to an oracle server". Neither v$session nor v$process count only the "user processes": v$session has background atop, and v$process have the parallel processes as well. On the other hand "operating system processes" more relate to v$process, as this is where you have OS process ID. Any thoughts ?
