Hi Tim and list,

That is what I said in the presentation, but it was not right. When I got
back to Sydney today, there were some helpful emails waiting for me from
Stephan Haisley. He has discovered that my test case was faulty in that I
had created the test table in the SYS schema. The KEEP buffer pool
functionality works just fine for user tables.

Another correction: I said that the alternative block size caches do not
have a hot region. Stephan has also demonstrated that this is only true if
you make the working sets ridiculously small.

For those to whom it applies, I'll update my presentation and ask Hotsos to
post a new version of it on their web site early next week.

FYI... During the Hotsos Symposium, Steve Adams mentioned that the keep 
pool appears to be broken in 9.2 and above... He didn't go into details 
but it's worth looking into if you're considering using it... I'll try 
and do some investigation and see if I can provide you a test case...
