So, my intention to set P_A_T to 140G on a new datawarehouse is ill-advised?
I'm not kidding, by the way. The Sun E15K belonging to the project I'm currently working on (purportedly) has 160G of RAM. It is still in the box, so I'm not believing anything until I type "prtconf"...
I wasn't planning to use more than 10G or so for SGA, and that much only because I can... <wee-hah!>...
Any thoughts?
