AK Since I don't see where anyone posted a reply to your question, here are the lines I added to my init.ora to implement the keep and recycle pools. This is a 4-CPU system. It took me awhile to understand that you need to increase the latches, but not by much. db_block_buffers = 200000 db_block_lru_latches = 6 buffer_pool_keep = (buffers:90000, lru_latches:2) buffer_pool_recycle = (buffers:10000, lru_latches:1)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 9:39 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi List , I have a 8.1.6 db running on hp-ux 2 cpu . currently it has default db block lru latches ( i guess this should be 1 since oracle sets it to cpu/2 ) . Now I want to configure keep pool . Which will requires at least 1 lru latches . So I need to specify db block lru latches > 1 ( rite ? ) . Now my question is what should be a good value for db block lru latches and keep pool lru lactes . I have 50000 blocks for db buffers (8K) in total , out of which i am initiallly planning to take 8000 for keep pool . what other consideration i should keep in mind before i set keep pool . -thanks ak -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: DENNIS WILLIAMS 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).
