Folks



Qs What is the Cause of "gc buffer busy" wait? Is it always due to a DML
i.e. "INSERT / UPDATE" or can it be due to a "SELECT" too?



NOTE - IDX_LOGIN_TABLE (on session_id), IDX_LOGIN_VAL_ITEMS_ (on
session_id), indexes belong to Tables which maintain unique session
information of each logged in Application User.



Qs Are dedicated server processes on the Different RAC nodes attempting
to "concurrently" do DML on the SAME BLOCK/ROW of the Respective Table &
hence index?



Will share Statspack, as needed.



Cheers
