Bottleneck

From Oracle FAQ

Jump to: navigation, search

A bottleneck is the slowest operation in a set of operations.

Some examples:

  • The I/O system may become a bottleneck on a large database system
  • If a database used more memory than what's available, paging and swapping will become a bottleneck
  • In a RAC system the interconnect may be overloaded (cannot handle all data transferres).
