How exactly did you convert the database to Unicode? Was this a straight ALTER DATABASE migration, or did you do an export and import?

Now we are seeing lots and lots of latch waits and buffer busy waits. I'm trying to chase them down through Statspack, but I also thought that you all might have some insight. So...in other words...HELP! Cheers, Mike -- To unsubscribe - mailto:oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx&subject=unsubscribe To search the archives - //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/
