Dennis,
There has been a substantial amount of discussion on this subject in the past,
you might want to go look at the archives. But to directly answer your questions:
1) I'm not having a problem with it (8.1.7.4)
2) NO.

Hi All,
Currently we have a very large database ( 8.1.7.4 ) on Tru64 that is having query
optimization problems. Lacking good, up-to-date statistics is the main cause of it.
Because of the size and availability window we can't afford to analyze the whole
schema. Now 8i has
a new feature that only gathers stats when stale. You have to set table to monitoring
mode first.
I am intrigued by this new feature and am reading up on it and have 2 questions:
1. How reliable and bug-free is this feature?
2. We do a lot of sqlldr direct path, which bypasses table insert. Will this feature
catch the rows inserted that way?
TIA
Dennis

One of our third party applications gave us the following message:
ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4192 bytes of shared memory
Environment is Oracle 8.1.7 on AIX 4.3.2
The output from "select * from v$sgastat showed about 3 mb free
out of a total of 40 mb of shared pool. I increased the
size of shared pool to 60 mb and started to watch the
"shared pool"/"free memory" value in v$sgastat. It seems to vary
between about 3 and 11 mb.
1. What is the application likely to be doing that requires it to
allocate shared pool?
2. How do I know when I have the shared pool value in init.ora set high
enough so that I won't get the ORA-04031 errors?
3. Is there any other init.ora parameter I ought to be looking at here?
Thanks,
Peter Schauss
