You mentioned that rebooting the machine helps a bit, but then you are back
to poor performance eventually.
That is because NT allocates memory gradually, as needed.
The only way I can see (without adding memory) of fixing this problem is to
reduce the size of your SGA, to allocate less memory for the oracle.exe
process(es). Remember that when users will log on, that will consume more
memory...
In 8i though you can't shrink the SGA down without allocating reasonable
amounts for the various pools, including the Java pool.
Java_pool_size (20M minimum, I would set it to 30M if you can)
Db_block_buffers the smaller it is, the more likely your data blocks will
get flushed to disk
Log_buffer the smaller it is, the more you may see redo log waits.
Large_pool_size
Shared_pool_size
Sort_area_size
Sort_area_retained_size
Hash_area_size
On and on it goes.
: )
Shut down any NT services you don't think you need, change their startup
setting to Manual in the Control Panel Services applet.
If your server needs registered RAM that will cost you, but if you are on a
PC you can buy 512M RAM DIMMs for almost US$50 now.

Subject: RE: Database using 100% of CPU
I've looked at the server. Total Commit Charge is 574968. Total
Physical Memory is 523680. I can see that it's over, but what am I
looking
at? I understand physical memory, but the help on 'Commit Memory'
in
windows is less than helpful.
Do I need to reboot the box?
Thanx,
Mike

How much memory is being used, vs. available physical RAM?
Check Task Manager | Performance tab, compare Commit Charge Total
(LL
corner) vs. Physical Memory Total (UR corner).
You should stay below physical RAM as much as possible, because
Oracle
really does not like NT virtual memory.

Steven:
I also have this happen on one of our smaller DBs running
NT. I
haven't
found a cause yet either. Rebooting seems (so far) to be
the only
cure.
If you get any replies would you please summarize to the
list?
Thanx,
Mike

We are having a problem with our database - it is using 100%
of the
CPU.
This has only started happening recently, and restarting the
database
temporarily
stops it happening - it usually recurrs a few hours later.
There are no jobs running, and at the moment there are no
active
connections.
Obviously something has kicked this off, can anyone shed any
light
on this
or
suggest how to find out what is running on the db?
Thanks in advance,
Steven H.
(Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 EE on NT 4 SP5)
