By "core" memory do you mean the 18"x18" blocks of doughnuts with the wires in them that magnetized, read, or changed polarity of the magnetization for zero or ones? That was just a little before I was loading the boot strap loader with the toggle switches on a computer. And a long time before the disk drive with the 12" removable platter in a cartridge.

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/06/02 10:08AM >>> Just curious - it's not like I'm trying to be mean or anything. I was just wondering if this is an issue with certain types of applications. I remember I had to worry about memory usage a *long* time ago when mainframe systems only had limited core memory (anybody remember core memory?), and application design and memory reuse was a critical part of the whole process. But within Oracle, I have not seen the need to worry about these types of things.
