RE: Database Hangs -- System shows latch contentions

Thanks. Yes its shared pool and Library cache. Shared pool was 4 GB initially I reduced it to 1.5 GB then we had problem and we increased it to 1.9 GB.

We can't go to 8.1.6 new as it requires lot of testing and users are not ready for that.

I guess I will have to live with that till they decide to go to 8.1.6.

Thanks

What is in V$LATCH.  If its shared pool and library cache contention I'd be tempted to:

  1. upgrade to 8.1.6+ where the algorithm is better
  2. reduce the size of your shared pool
