Hi!
Makes it sense to switch off the disk-caching on an Oracle
7.3 Server to get more free memory for the SGA?
The System is a 166Mhz Pentium, 64 MB Ram and Raid5 USCSI,
max. 12 users are logged in.
The server is exclusively used for Oracle. I have read that
Oracle has its own caching system and bypasses write-caching
on security reasons. So: what sense makes the WinNT-cache any
more?
Makes it sense to increase SGA and to set the cache to 0 to ged
rid of swapping?
Thanks in advance! Frank
