Walt,

First...HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I'll buy you a beer if I ever make it to Bozeman :)

Second, this may be a case of one issue being carried over to another. I recall 
that certain Unix systems (HP-UX?) required a periodic bounce because some of 
the Oracle memory structures/counters were not large enough to handle the 
numbers that would be generated over time. I have not had to deal with this 
issue in quite a while, so it may have been a 32 bit issue as well.

I did a search on metalink and came up with nothing.

Regards,
Dan

Hello all,Some of the older list members may remember me; I've been more or 
less away from Oracle for a few years but we still have a few old 9i systems I 
still maintain on a sporadic basis.
Anyway, one of our few remaining Oracle customers recently requested that we bounce the Oracle instance they were on; they said there was a bug in 9i that required the instance be bounced at least every 365 days. Does anyone know anything about this? I haven't been able to find out anything about it; my Metalink account expired a long time ago and Googling hasn't turned up anything.Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,--Walt Weaver, old Oracle fart (it's my 60th birthday today)  --
