Larry,

    Processes is the maximum number of background processes that Oracle will spawn. These include things like DBW0, SMON,PMON, SNPx, LGWR, ARCH, dispatchers and shared servers in MTS, and dedicated servers in non MTS environments. So in a way your right, if your in a non-MTS environment then processes - 6 is the number of SQL*Net connections you can have. If your in an MTS environment then the Sessions parameter is much more important. Which by the way, for those who forgot, Sessions is a derived parameter unless set directly. The formula is 1.1*processes+5. So if processes is set to 100 then sessions can be 115. If processes is 200 sessions is 225. If processes is 50 then sessions is 60. These are pretty small in an MTS setup so one may well want to hard code it.

Hi All,

can anyone tell me exactly what is the
difference between setting the init.ora parameter process = 100 or process = 200.

I thought that process is the max number of connections to the database at any given to via sqlnet. Is this true?

Thanks in advance
