Dan, No reason to stay in the corner (unless that's where the fridge is). I'm trying to decide where to look on the OS. When I looked at vmstat, there was no paging, and ~20% idle cpu. Maybe set up a cron to take snapshots of something(??) every few minutes? Support from the Sys Admin side

Hey all, We recently had a problem with a 3rd-party app getting ORA-1000 max open cursors exceeded on their 8.1.7.4 DB. Since OPEN_CURSORS is set to 500 in the init.ora -- should be more than generous for a tiny app on a tiny DB -- we started looking into how many cursors the app actually has

20% idle = 80% busy? How many cpus? If it is 20% idle that should lay to rest the theory that the process may wait for a cpu. But, if it is a 5-way join, maybe it is reading a set of blocks from file 65 and then collects the corresponding rows from the other 4 tables, which must be all pure

Ryan - The only time I did was when I needed to expand the SYSTEM tablespace because it was too small. Normally you can just expand the datafile. For some reason I couldn't do that, it was awhile ago, probably the Oracle version. Creating another data file went just fine. The more important

Gabriel QA is a really broad subject. How this applies to Oracle will vary a lot, depending on how your site implements QA. For some sites, this means test, staging, and production databases. Other sites would be happy if they just had a test system. If you don't have any more to go on, you

It's been about a decade that I have been working with AIX. There must be tools that give you a breakdown by cpu. Else you can do a ps -ef or ps aux and watch your process. If I'mm right you should see it consuming 99% cpu all the time. I have been looking after Peoplesoft systems for several

If you have a 10046 trace file, and the means to process/analyze it, then it will tell you what you need to know. If it's IO, you will see IO related waits. If they are not there, and no other significant wait events, then it's all processing time, which probably equaits to LIO's. Thats my take.
