Re: CR Block copies, always 6 in 10.2.0.3?

Do you have the wait interface ebook?

Its in page 221 where it says:

"To avoid flooding the buffer cache with cloned buffers, Oracle limits the number of cloned buffers (or cr copies) to six per data block address . Once the limit is reached, *Oracle waits for the buffer; the normal wait time is 10cs before it attempts to clone/reread the buffer*"

TIA Alex
