Lyndon I would look at the wait statistics to see what is happening inside Oracle. I would also look at the O.S. performance statistics to see what is happening underneath Oracle. Don't make any rash assumptions. Also, are any error messages or trace files generated? For me the funny story was a misunderstanding of the Unix "nice" value for an unfamiliar platform. Long story short, we wound up with batch running at a higher priority than interactive users. New users were shut out. Dennis Williams DBA, 40%OCP Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am wondering if people here can give me their horror stories when Oracle stops accepting new connections or stops accepting connections altogether? Scalability problems when you've got around 5,000 concurrent connections? MTS/Shared server configurations enabled or disabled? It could be an Oracle problem or the application that's trying to connect's fault. Any tips and insights into what caused your horror story and how it was fixed. Thanks. Have a Happy Holidays everybody. -- Lyndon Tiu -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Lyndon Tiu INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
