Oracle 8.0.5.2.1   <-- yeah, I know I know... we are going to 8.1.7
eventually
AIX 4.3.3


Hey all....    Looking at our init parameters today after reading Tim
Gorman's White Paper "The Search for Intelligent Life in the Cost Based
Optimizer" and these 2 stood out like a sore thumb.   Both are at the
default values:

OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ = 100
OPTIMIZER_INDEX_CACHING = 0

We have an OLTP and a DSS database and I am looking at changing the
OPTIMIZER_INDEX_CACHING = 90 for both and setting the
OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ to a reasonable value based on db sequential reads
vs. db scattered reads as a guideline....  any
suggestions/recommendations/words of warning/flogging?    There is some
scattered info on this on Metalink but I'm looking for some real-world
improvements or headaches.

Thanks to all in advance and hopefully I won't have to type  HELP so
someone can ask me if I'm an idiot....

:-)


John D.
