My experience  (it was on 7.3.4 on Solaris, do not know current behavior))
that when number of requests > max_shared_servers Oracle create dedicated
connection and writes record in the alert.log file.

        Subject:        Re:Multi Threaded Server

        Jack,

            I use MTS of any instance were the company intranet gets
involved for
        similar reasons.  There are two problems that I've run into with MTS
over the
        years.  The first is running out of shared pool space.  With MTS the
query and
        resulting data get stored in the shared pool, so at least one should
increase
        this setting in init.ora.  The second gets into the basics of
configuring MTS. 
        First, make sure there are a minimum of at least 2 shared servers
per
        dispatcher.  If you've for 3 dispatchers then you need a minimum of
6 shared
        servers.  The DB will not complain on startup if this is wrong, but
it will at
        some time thereafter, by crashing.  The second has to do with the
number of
        shared servers there are during normal operations.  Remember that
once a user
        submits a transaction to the database that it will sit in the shared
pool
        awaiting processing until a server becomes available.  This very
much a FIFO
        operation, so if all of the servers are busy then it may wait for a
long time. 
        My rule of thumb is to set MTS_MAX_SERVERS equal to 75% of max
expected
        connections.  The actual number running at any time will vary
between the
        minimum and maximum which is what it's suppose to do.  Also,
configure at least
        one connection method that will use a dedicated server.  Helps an
awful lot with
        batch data loads, actually an Oracle recommendation.

        Hi All,

        We have about 400-500 connections to our database and are now
considering
        going to MTS.

        Can anybody share their experience? pitfalls? things to take care
of?
        performance issues?

        Any help appreciated.

        Our main objective is to lower the amount of RAM consumed by the
Oracle
        sessions.
