Re: Resource Manager on 8i: an underestimated tool or what ?

In two years of asking, I've encountered 2 students who use it and are happy with it. I know of 6 sites that backed it out after performance woes ensued following its deployment.

All anecdotal, of course.... Point being, if you get into developing fancy plans, it can all end up being sufficient rope with which to hang yourself.

Actually, if you had 9i, I'd consider it worth investigating for its ability not to start jobs the optimiser predicts will take too long.

But I have my doubts about it in 8i.
