I have been lately playing heavily with swingbench to load database. I could generate without to 1500 session busy with transaction using MTS on my small linux box. Tuning and againg tuning and finally I ended with PGA and SGA aggretate target as only parameters. removed even DB_CACHE_SIZE. let oracle do its internall cooking. However I have tested this only with A 1,5G SGA. I heard that when you go in the very big size SGA Oracle is not so good but can't confirm. I do not have a test box with 100g ram.

Pinning individual sql is a pain. A fuzzy science. IMHO, unless it is really needed for some well identified sql then you are better off letting Oracle to manage it. You can greatly help Oracle accomplish this by buying more RAM for the shared pool. 1G shared pool is not uncommon.  

I can explain my point:  

  1. Caching. if sql is really often used then Oracle *must* keep it in the pool(cache) because it is hot(warm) If it is not then Oracle should be able to push out this sql to make space.
  2. Fragmentation. Unfortunetely (or fortunetely) Oracle has no concept of compiled(stored) SQL (like DB2 has for example) This means that you can pin SQL after DB startup and/or pool flush only after it arrives into the pool. The SQL you want to pin may arrive N-hours after database is started. So what? The pool gets fragmented long before. I think that by pinning this SQL you fragment the pool even more because from my understanding Oracle is not able to relocated(well, push out of pool) this SQL any more, is it? Hope I am wrong.

Conclusion: given todays coding culture I do not think much can be done except of allocating large enough pool. This reduces some pool problems and does not introduce to many others.

Thanks Laimutis and Mark Bobak, jame tong, Eagle fan, Tanel Poder, Beranrd Polarski.  

I looked at everything. I think cursor_space_for_time will not suit our env going by what Tanel said. About sessions_cached_cursors according to metalink note 208857.1 sql I used to see the recommendation : it suggests the current value of 300 is fully used and could be candidate for increase. However, from below document http://www.miracleas.dk/tools/Miracle_2_cursor.pdf by bjorn ensig of miracle it says : 'There is some overhead in CPU, effectively making this parameter useless for values higher than 50-100. So am trying to decide which way to go : high or low. I think if it could help with memory so should I reduce it. I think apart from that I am trying to pin objects and pinning package,package body,function,procedure, trigger,type, sequence  I think individual sql can also be pinned but I do not know how easy and beneficial that is. Is there anything else I can pin?  

I am planning to set
_kghdsidx_count to 1 explicitly. I assume there is no issue with that. It is having 2 subpool now. I do not know in what way 2 subpool helps.  

Thanks for all the help.

        It is really one of the best explanations I´ve ever seen. At least it sounds close to what Oracle programmers really did.
