Saw an interesting post in comp.databases.oracle.server postulating that if a shadow thread needed an open file handle on all files in a instance (or even some of them), the process handle limit in windows could constrain user scalability (e.g. too many users would result in ora-12500 unable to spawn errors and the like). (Let's ignore MTS/shared server mode for the moment)
Sounded interesting, but I thought I'd ask if anyone knows whether a shadow thread (or process under unix) does open a handle on each file (control, data, redo), some of them, or none of them?
