Hi there,

Because I am not Unix expert, I have a few questions about some terminology and relationship with Oracle Database:

1. What does IPC mean? I also found a Unix command called ipcs. How IPC can affect Oracle instance?
2. Some information found in process trace file but don't understand completely: User time vs. System time Resident set size Zero-fill pages Voluntary vs. Involuntary context switches Don't understand why Logical Reads = 0 but Bytes from Logical reads gets 631.
