Hi All !
I forgot to say : that someone told me that if we're going to transfer = 25-50 K of LOBs every query then the network will be very busy . So we'll need 2 network cards with 2 different IP addresses for the same = physical machine in order to improve network throughput . This is where the 2 listeners for 2 IPs of the same machine are = introduced=20

  Did this someone explain why multiple listeners would benefit you? The = listener is only involved during the initial connection to the database = and has nothing to do with query performance. If you have a lot of new = connections hitting the server simultaneously, then by all means try = balancing the load with multiple listeners and see if you gain anything. = Or if you want to debug the listener, set up a separate listener on a = separate port for debuggig purposes. But I don't see how it'll improve = query performance.

    Dear all !

    I'm going to administer an Oracle 8.1.6 DB on Sun 220 machine .

    Most of the SQL statements against the DB will retrieve a values = from a BLOB or a CLOB column .

    Typical LOB size is ~25 - 50K ..

    We expect ~ 700 such queries per second ..

    The question : someone suggested me to configure more than one = listener on the DB server in order to balance the load ..

    Do U think it's appropriate ? Does anyone have any experience with = multiple listeners on the same machine and for the SAME INSTANCE ?

    How can i implement multiple listeners ?

    Are there any papers on this=20

    TIA=20     Andrey Bronfin
