I need to whip out a PL/SQL procedure real quick today and have a quick
question for fellow-listers ( since today is Friday, hopefully I don't get
RTFMed on this one :) )
The purpose of my procedure is to collect stats from v$session_wait
periodically ( every second for example) and pump the data into a stats
table.
But how to make the procedure to wait for a specified time? I know of the
option of using dbms_jobs to handle this. But I am wondering if there is a
similar
function in PL/SQL similar as the Unix 'sleep' command.

TIA

Re: OS bloack size and ORACLE BLOCK SIZE

[Karthik Ramachandran]

The default block size is 8K with a fragment size of 1K i.e. files with size below 8K 
are allocated using 1K blocks increments and files larger than 8K are done in 8K 
increments except for the last block which may be a fragment.

Hi Everyone i'm trying to determine what my os block size is
My DB's have an 8k block size and i thought for best performance my os block
size should be the same.

So i run the command "df -g"
   8192 file system block size1024 fragment size
is the result

and i run the command "fstyp -v /dev/dbvg/dblv"
f_bsize: 1024
f_frsize: 1024
is the result

so what is my os block size, aren't these commands returning my filesystem
block size, or is that the same thing.
If i'm completly wrong how do i find out my OS block and should my
filesystem block be the same as that?
i'm on HPUX 10.20

Thanks David Hill
