Quoting Nigel Thomas <nigel_cl_thomas@xxxxxxxxx>:
Personally, I'd rather let Oracle manage a single pool. A separate pool means you are assuming that by default Oracle will choose inappropriate blocks to page out. Of course you may be right... :-)Regards Nigel
Thanks Nigel! Since this event is the only one I see in significant quantities/time I am fixating on it I guess. The server is idle and the I/O system is yawning but this event still pops up. Meanwhile I've got about 400 spare megabytes allocated to the Java Pool (Siebel 7 doesn't do Java) and the large_pool area (we're using dedicated servers and no RMAN). So I was looking to re-use the memory after doing an analysis of the file#/block# captured by my monitoring program. Cheers JH -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
