1.- Go to this link of Steve Adam's site: http://www.ixora.com.au/scripts/cache.htm You gonna find a script to estimate the miss rate of the buffer cache based on the assumptions that certain operations are not well compute by statistics as direct path operations. 2.- From 8.X you should rely

Probably you need to run the catexp.sql again. This is 100% if you applied a patch. Even if you don't try running the catexp.sql again. Also the error during export depends on where you have had it. I mean whether it has been in one of your tables or in sys/system objects. Regards. --- Jyoti

For us, on 8.1.7.1 with 90MB redologs and about 120-150 connections (100-150 avg TPM), we get log switches every two hours during the day and about every 10-15 minutes during the nightly processing. I guess ideal is to switch every 30 minutes or so, but we needed to compromise because of the

MaybeHowever in my experience a shutdown abort and startup was most of the times quickier than shutdown immediate and wait for the unfinished rollback. Remember that one thing is recover because of the abort and another thing is to rollback managed by the parameter cleanup_rollback_entries

NEVER change an optimizer since the application have some time working with it. I should leave it in CHOOSE and then analyze what are doing the transactions. Look up the worst events through v$system_Event or from time to time through v$session_wait. Issue an utlbstat/utlestat or statspack. Then

Kirti, Audrey, I was under the impression that negative numbers are caused by the numbers wrapping around i.e., the database has been up for a while and the statistics pile up and eventually exceed the defined format (e.g. value of 1000+ for a format of 9(3) - to use old COBOL representation !).
