Bergman Precedence: bulk Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit There is an article on Metalink that talks about doing this and doesn't mention the problem but I will take your word over that. Another post on usenet talked about some different software available on particular operating systems that would do the smae thing as "nice" but I guess it does is a little more "nicley". Would this be safe? How about punishing the whole lot and forcing all processes with a particular database to run at a lower level?

This is specifically warned against in the manuals. If you have a process with a lowered priority that obtains a lock on an object, then can't run because of the low priority, you will create a deadlock or hang situation. All Oracle processes should run at the same priority. -- --- Allen Kirby AT&T ITS Production Services akirby@att.com Alpharetta, GA. ************************************************************************ **** * Ethan Post perotdba (AIM), epost1 (Yahoo) -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Post, Ethan INET: Ethan.Post@ps.net Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: ListGuru@fatcity.com (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
