I did "show parameter recycle" and got the following reply:

SQL> show parameter recycle

NAME TYPE VALUE

------------------------------------ ----------- 
------------------------------
buffer_pool_recycle		     string
db_recycle_cache_size		     big integer 0
recyclebin			     string	 on

SQL> What is surprising is BUFFER_POOL_RECYCLE, a parameter that has been obsolete since the version 9.2. It wasn't documented in 10g and I don't understand why was this obvious atavism retained in 11.2? Here is the link to 9.2 documentation that qualifies this parameter as obsolete:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/A97630_01/server.920/a96536/ch119.htm

This should have been removed altogether or retained as an underscore parameter. It isn't documented, but it's there.
