RE: sort latch usage in MTS mode

"Looks like not much people have the experience with 10g MTS yet."

Yet? I hope never..  

MTS is bad, plain and simple. This falls into my "Don't by a problem" category.  

Since leaving 8i behind, I've seen MTS as something that should be used as a short term work-around.

I've found hardware load balancing and application pooling to be far more effective without incurring queuing inherent with MTS.

Looks like not much people have the experience with 10g MTS yet. To Kevin:

SQL> select * from v$License;

SESSIONS_MAX SESSIONS_WARNING SESSIONS_CURRENT SESSIONS_HIGHWATER USERS_MAX

------------ ---------------- ---------------- ------------------ ----------

           0                0            11474              13293          0

 For sure we use middleware to do connection pooling. We still can't make the connection below 8-10k for some databases;

To Alex:
sort will use large pool in MTS mode. Please check out metalink note 223153.1. It is very easy to reproduce/prove.

Is there any guys from Amazon type company here in the list?

Kevin Closson replied: just out of curiosity, what is "real high" in terms of connect count?  

 And another (maybe irrelevant) point: when there is a mid-tier shared connection pool, that can also act as a concentrator/multiplexer (eg I have LoadRunner tested 2000 "users" executing a realistic high volume workload with (iirc) only 100-200 real Oracle connections). Yes, I know 2000 is not
"real high" :) but you can scale out this approach.
 

MTS and app server shared pool have different strengths and weaknesses (for the benefit of the BAAG party - or just to stimulate more informed replies - I'll refrain from proving my ignorance by guessing what they are :-).
