And who cares at all if you're not waiting for events associated with this? Big or small, few or many - it doesn't matter if you're not waiting for them. Long live the wait interface, which can focus our attention on the bottleneck (as they say at the breweries). Christopher Spence wrote: I

I beg to differ with this persons assessment. Number of datafiles hardly effect performance in any noticable manor. This can be noted during checkpoint where high count of data files check point with similar efficiency of low number. Granted, having 1000 128k data files wouldn't be efficient.

I agree 100% in what your saying, but I think saying It is really bad to drop tables randomly from production environment would be a very similar assesmment. If your doing a checkpoint every 15 seconds with 1,000,000 datafiles over 3,500 tablespaces with 10k redo logs, well perhaps the problem

Question about many Oracle Data Files

All, Awhile back, on the other list, there was a discussion regarding the number of data files that an Oracle database might contain. Someone posted a warning that too many data files might actually hurt performance in that it might inflate the amount of work to be done at SCN update time.

Hi ! Someone posted a warning that too many data files might actually hurt performance in that it might inflate the amount of work to be done at SCN update time. How would I test this? What wait value might be too high to indicate that this is taking too long? How many is too many?
