Re: DBWn performs batched (multiblock) writes to improve efficiency

Tanel, you want to take a look at the strace utility, which exists on both Linux and CYGWIN. It traces all system services that a prices makes, IO calls included. On Solaris, the same utility is called "truss", while HP-UX has "tusc". AIX 5.2 also has truss, while Irix has something called "par". On my favorite OS of all times, I could do run/debug ORACLE_HOME:[bin]sqlplus, and, if linked in the "single task mode", I would see the complete code of the server side. Dave Cutler turned such a noble OS into a hideous monstrosity that has ruined so many good PC's.
