You can change appropiate parameters with alter session and/or alter system [Quoted] [Quoted] commands. You won't however change them permanently. Which parameters are appropiate to change is in the v$parameter view. I can't imaging this isn't discussed in the Oracle Server Administrators manual.
[Quoted] [Quoted] Personally, I would advise *strongly* against implementing this is jdbc, as [Quoted] [Quoted] you allow clients from anywhere to create havoc on your database. I would try to change parameters permanently if I were you.
