Sorry, I thought it was easy to follow a threaded conversation. By default google doesn't include previous posts. I'll do so now for your convienience.

So, with all that knowledge about Oracle you didn't really understand MTS until Chuck corrected you? Your awefully full of yourself (too many hot dinners maybe?)

Ok, sarcastic maybe not, condescending, yes. And we'll ignore that 50% of your advice (w.r.t MTS) was incorrect.

Exactly where did I say I wanted to toss memory at Oracle, cross my fingers, do a little dance and hope performance gets better? I didn't. I asked for advice on how to tune the SGA in an MTS environment, more specifically I asked if anyone had any good formula's.

But did you help? No, you fired off a sarcastic comment about "Voodoo Tuning". And guess what, you got me on a bad day. Received on Fri Sep 10 2004 - 10:09:05 CDT
