Re: Resource consumption in windows 2000

I would choose 8iEE.

You can set an Oracle instance to manual startup using the oradim command line utility. Equally you can set all the Oracle services to manual startup using the services utility in computer management.

As for memory use the main parameters to look at in the init.ora file are

DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS * DB_BLOCK_SIZE (gives the size of the buffer pool) JAVA_POOL_SIZE. (set it to 1M).
SHARED_POOL_SIZE on a personal system you can set these quite low.
