Interesting. We noticed the same thing on Windows2000, it doesn't get mentioned often. Does it mean not many people maintain databases that require more than 1.5G of memory on their Windows servers? My impression so far: - one can't use virtual memory on the Windows platform for a busy database,

Hi all, Thanks for the pointers that you have all supplied. Sage advice that they shouldn't have changed Oracle whilst changing their OS at the same time. I also did some checking up on the /3GB switch before it was mentioned (having seen it on here in the past) - Windows 2000 does in fact

Hi All, We've been asked a question from one of our clients that I'm a little stumped on. They run an OLTP database (Oracle 8.1.7), and have recently upgraded their NT machine to Windows 2000, they were running with 2gb of memory, and upgraded that to 4gb in the process. As they increased

Hi Mark, no thoughts specific to Oracle, but I'd recommend using the principle of change only one element at a time. I'd say they were unwise to upgrade to W2K, and at the same time change their Oracle parameters. If possible, I'd advise they set all their Oracle parameters back to their

Mark, I have not done a MicroSlop upgrade, but I have in the past upped the SGA size and gotten when I really did not want, which was database performance degradation. You might ask them to check the pagefile size. If it's system maintained or too small funny things do happen. BTW:

Mark, This is pure speculation, as you didn't provide any particulars. Upgrading to Win2k is not likely the culprit, or at least, I have experienced any kind of problem in moving a database from NT - Win2k. When they upgraded the memory, by just now much did they increase db_block_buffers? If

Mark, My guess is, that the new OS re-instated the file system caching. By default, 41% (yes, it should have been 42%) of physical memory will be allocated to filesystem caching, as W2K thinks it a fileserver(and domain controller, web server, print server, etc) until you tell it otherwise. This
