Hi Patty,

Adding more physical memory != better performance.

You need to figure out where your performance problem is (assuming there is
a problem) before finding a solution.

Also some init.ora parameters and (and probably) some system parameters need
to be changed, so oracle DB can use more physical memory.

HTH.

Subject: Where To Use Additional Memory


Recently my manager stopped by my desk and asked why the additional 2 Gb=20=
of memory the Sysadmin added to the production server was not improving=20=
our OLTP transaction response time=2E  Ok course I had no idea that any=20=
additional memory had been added to the server so I am obviously not
using=20=
it for the database=2E=2E=2E

We are new to Oracle 9=2E2 (9=2E2=2E0=2E5) and AIX 5L (5=2E2)=2E  I have
read all=
=20=
about the new 'advice' catalog views and memory management in 9i=2E=20=


I have a few questions:=20=


1) How safe is it to turn on db_cache_advice during peak transaction=20=
periods?
2) How reliable/useful are the stats that I see out of the V$ advice=20=
views?
3) Does anyone have a tried and true method for determining the best
place=20=
to use additional physical free memory?

TIA=2E=2E=2E
