Cursor_sharing=similar (still has the odd bug). 5.

RE: most practical 9iR2 features?
Brad, We're primarily using 9i with a third party time accounting system, so I haven't had too much time with a lot of 9i, but the resumable transactions are a REAL time energy saver. The Time accounting system has to do bulk data loads from our HR system as well as it's own batch processing. All things that like to eat up tablespace and you can guess that the vendor's estimates (more like Guesstimates) were not up to the realities. But they did set themselves up to use the resumable transaction capability and I did manage to get the database internals setup, thank you OTS. Then when these batch jobs were run for real the jobs stopped while I got paged. In the old days the job would have failed leading to a lot of finger pointing, etc... In this case I was able to fix it it continued without error. Now that's a FEATURE!!! :-) Dick Goulet Senior Oracle DBA Oracle Certified 8i DBA -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 12:15 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hey listers I am doing some research and would like to get (in very short answers) features of 9iR2 that folks have implemented that meet the following goals: 1.

RE: most practical 9iR2 features?
This is a good question. We've been running 9i instances for 18+ months now. Here are my impressions: I would say RESUMABLE, especially for bulk loads, export/import, sqlloader is #1. This has saved HOURS!!! Dynamically modifiable SGA parameters have helped us with reliability. Less need to ever bounce! We're now letting the database name datafiles for new partitions, which, for archivable tables, makes it easier to drop partitions and datafiles and more easily reclaim space in an automated fashion. The new RMAN features, overall, make the product finally usable in our eyes. It still needs improvement, though... Undo tablespaces have significantly cut down on rollback and snapshot too old errors. But it's not perfect... Automated workarea size policy is much better than manually calculating PGA variables such as sort_area_size, etc... We haven't used much flashback or query rewrite features yet. At least not directly (some vendor code may use them). I am sure interested in seeing what others have to say.
