FreeLists / oracle-l / sort_area_size and hash_area_size

[Oliver.Jost@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi All,
  I did some testing on this quite some time ago and was hoping to have a 
refresher.... I have an application with a particularly nasty view... 
given that I can not go in and fix the view without breaching protocol, I 
was going to increase the sort area size and hash area size at the session 
level.... Now that I'm revisiting this I remember there were some 
considerations for negatively impacting performance.  After failing to 
find any information on this negative impact... does anyone know of some 
considerations I should make before going forward?

Thank you,
     Oliver
