Hi there,

What exactly is the large pool used for?

>From Metalink:

"The two main uses of the large pool in Oracle 8 are:

1. For the User Global Area (UGA) of sessions connected using MTS (multi-threaded server)
2. Buffering for sequential file IO (Eg: as used by server managed recovery when there are multiple IO slaves)"

I'm not using MTS, so I'm not worried about "a".

What do they mean by "Buffering for sequential file IO"? Full table scans?

Thanks,

J
