Hi,

I have the following scenario:

There are approximately .5 million jobs submitted to oracle using dbms_job.submit without any interval, ex below:

Begin Dbms_job.submit(jobno, what); commit; end;


There are as i said .5 million jobs that are submitted, but when i go ahead and query user_jobs, I get only around 34000 entries which decrease gradually indicating that the jobs are executing,

1. What happened to the other jobs ?

2. I know that the job_queue_processes value gives the maximum number of jobs that can be executed concurrently, but where are the other jobs that are not visible in user_jobs stored ?

3. Is there a limit to the number of jobs that we can submit
using dbms_job.submit ?

Maybe they are already executed.
Theorically there is no limit but...
I think 500,000 jobs is quite silly and I don't see any business reason to do this.

Regards
Michel

Well, 1st of all my apologies for the late reply, was out for lunch.

I too feel it's too silly have so many jobs but i need to talk to my counter-part who has written the code.

Thanks a lot for the info Michel Smile
