Hi !

In earlier versions of Oracle (read: Oracle 8 and below) the DBWR average scan depth is a function of Oracle.

In Oracle 8.1 the DBWR algorithms are changed (and the buffer cache meanagements also with the introduction of 'touch count' and 'mid point insertion' instead of typical LRU..I.e The LRU is no more used to manage the buffer cache).

So setting db_files to a higher number infaltes the DBWR avg scan depth in oracle 8.

Warm Regards,
