Hey all, After an interesting TAR on why an SMON process would be eating up 250MB = of memory, I find that we may need to adjust the transactions on our VB = programs. Seeing as the only VB I've done consisted of a full-screen = button that said "Click Me", I have no clue as to how transactions are = handled in the various DB interfaces like ADO, RDO, DAO, or whatever = we're using. Anyone know a good online resource for this? Google has oodles of = fragments, but I don't know enough to know which might be "better". It = would also help if I knew what DB library(ies) we're using... <blush> TIA, Rich Rich Jesse System/Database Administrator rich.jesse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QuadTech, Sussex, WI USA ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
