That's the first time I see a lady say that. I thought it was a consolation of us, middle-aged, chubby DBA males. Joking aside, the buffer cache should be increased using the same principle as for everything else: you increase the buffer size when you start seeing free buffer waits in your V$SYSTEM_EVENT. The basic principle of the event-based tuning methodology is to try fixing that what sessions are actually waiting for, instead of computing BCHR, horoscope or your personal lucky number. -- Mladen Gogala A & E TV Network Ext. 1216 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
