Re: very (I repeat) slow DBWR: SOCKETS???

Hi,

I thought the socket files were associated with the SQL Net system, and were left on the system when you had a system crash, and SQL*Net did not close down correctly.

If I remember correctly, most of the files are with tnsnames alias, but a couple are for the TCP/IP listener.
