Re: Slowing down Oracle 7.3 on SCO OpenServer-5

 Well, in short, you need an experienced UNIX System Administrator to monitor the OS for you, using either the built-in UNIX commands (ps, vmstat, iostat, etc.) or whatever third-party tools you have.

Likewise on the Oracle side you need an experienced DBA to monitor and tune the instance. Again either develop/download some SQL scripts or buy a third party tool (or those provided at additional cost by Oracle).
