Thanks Terry, I agree with you, I only want to know if changing this parameter would alter his statistics in anyway. In theory all should be similar, it was only testing theories, curiosity. :) Juan Carlos Reyes Pacheco OCP -------Original Message------- From: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: 07/26/04 17:31:40 To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: "free buffer waits" under eXtreme Transaction Loads Just to clarify, it's not my situation, it's Vivek's. He's welcome to do whatever he wants. But I don't see the value of changing something without a reason to change it. I don't know what the contradictory theories are, but I've seen way too many people create huge log buffers because it said in some Oracle document that log_buffer should be increased if redo log space requests are not near-zero, without considering what near-zero really means. I have yet to hear a good reason for a log buffer larger than 1MB (I'm happy to consider it if I hear such a reason, but not until). Granted, I've never seen a system generating 6MB/second of redo (the most I've worked with was 1/3 that), but I'd still want to hear good logic before I tried something. --Terry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Juan Carlos Reyes Pacheco" <jreyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, July 26, 2004 2:07 PM Subject: Re: "free buffer waits" under eXtreme Transaction Loads Hi Terry, The reason is because I would like to test the impact of a 10m size log buffer space in your situation. I understand if you reject, but if possible, only to see what implies it ;), because there are several contradictories theories about a 10M size, I would like to see what happens, I think this will be interesting, if this not takes to you too much time Thanks in advance.

If his log buffer were too small, wouldn't he be seeing "log buffer space" waits? I'd expect "log file sync" waits to get worse with a larger log buffer. --Terry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Juan Carlos Reyes Pacheco" <jreyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Could I ask you please if is possible in your tests to incrase to 10M, test and share if this improves in some way your performance.
