I think it was supported in Oracle 8.1.5 and is documented in the tuning manual. we used the single task executables for doing some benchmarks in 8.1.5 and it did give us quite a bit of performance enhancement and yes as Tanel indicates, its definitely not recommended to be run in a production environment. We did not run into any major issues with these executables except we had to fix the make files to get them compiled. We did achieve performance improvements of 30 to 40% on certain exports and sqlloader loads. This was on Sequent NUMA running Oracle 8.1.5 and Dynix/ptx 4.4.1 Regards, Madhavan http://www.dpapps.com -- Madhavan Amruthur DecisionPoint Applications -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Sent 0.000002 seconds ago -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Madhavan Amruthur 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).
