I would recommend you install Oracle's STATSPACK, if you haven't
already. If you haven't, consider buying Don Burleson's book Oracle9i
High-Performance Tuning with STATSPACK. You can run some STATSPACK
snapshots while the system is normal and see what the performance is like.
Ask people
Alex
In my experience, when I have inherited systems worrying about tuning was
the least of my concerns. I could think of other things to look into first
(no particular order):
- Backup/Recovery procedures
- like do backups happen, archivelog mode on (you would be surprised)
- Database Event

Hello
Santosh - Web sites are excellent for finding the answer to specific
questions, but may leave gaps in your knowledge. If I may offer a
suggestion, get a good fundamentals book, and work through it trying all the
examples you can. A good recommendation is Oracle9i DBA 101
I would strongly recommend a good beginner DBA text
such as DBA 101.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0072224746/qid=1044859784
This will give you a good foundation for reading the docs.

Look in docs for CREATE DATABASE command, maxlogfiles and maxlogmembers are
defined at database creation and stored in the control files. To change it
you must recreate control files.
You probably don't want to oversize this by much, as the control files grow

Hi,
One of the reason I'm saying that is that I just tuned
a batch job where in a huge loop there was a create
and a drop table . Performance was awful.
I'm more a development dba than a production dba so
I'm usually aware of all objects in the database.
The main thing is that "usually" the
stephane, just curious, really, no subtle lines...
should I, a developer, tell my dba that I'm gonna create temporary tables?
(I know most of you are dba's, please don't flame me...)
deep inside I would say, yes, but, really why?
Rigth access?
space allocation?
performance tunning?
curious dba?
