Re: [Q] wait time /lob def

Tanel,

Oracle 9-2 SQL Ref manual. Lob storage clause. The options for lobs on creation are:

    CACHE
    NO CACHE
    CACHE READS I don't think the last one appeared until 9.2 I was wrong about caching only writes, though - one of the joys of trying to quote everything from memory.

The CACHE READS option means that the
LOB goes into the buffer cache for reads, but not for writes. Pity, really, because I'd quite like to see it the other way around.

Regards
