RE: Oracle 9i Release (May?)

Rich,

There was no "log_archive_start" because it was a benchmark for a data warehouse...which (way more) typically...doesn't operate in ARCHIVELOG mode.

For anyone wanting to see how they created the 3TB database, check out the Full Disclosure Report at
http://www.tpc.org/results/FDR/tpch/sun.e10k.3tb.010417.fdr.pdf It contains all the init.oras, Solaris parameters, and the DB creation scripts.

It's quite a hoot to see 32GB redos! I did notice the lack of "log_archive_start" anywhere, which would explain why there was no mention of
unbelievably long archive write times... :)

Also, the claim that the 9i TPC-H 3TB benchmark beat DB2's 1TB marks appears to be just "alleged" and not "convicted", as per the TPC webpage.

Enjoy!
