Hi,

Correct me if I am wrong... My context is oracle 8i/9i for the linux 2.4.19 kernel. I presume that an oracle server spawns a new thread for serving each query. Which threads does it use? As in POSIX threads ( created by pthread_create() ) or linux threads ( created by clone() ) ?? Also for protecting any shared (global) data among multiple threads or processes, does oracle use the linux semaphores
(using semget(), semop() system calls) ??

Thanks in advance,
Asmita
