Well ... although you are correct, you forgot to mention that there is a hidden table sys. fence$, leftover from the archaic time, which (table, not time) has a column drift# (Boolean) and one row. Default value is FALSE and unless changed manually to TRUE, the_centripedal_acceleration parameter works only up to 1K spin.
In addition one has to alter session set nls_territory= western before updating fence$. inka -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 2:19 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L All I'm saying is that the parameter wouldn't have nearly as much effect as the _centripedal_acceleration parameter, which as we all know keeps the bits from flying off of HDs, especially the 15K spin. I believe it's undocumented now, since setting it to "false" caused corruption from bit loss. (how's that?)
