Many
moons ago, before Steve got anywhere near finishing his book,

it was
to be a glorious oeuvre, <FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>a Magnus Opus, a.....well, nevermind,

but it
was going to be big Big BIG. Including everything about <SPAN class=866330519-15022001>Oracle.

(Steve
had even decided to include a section on the kernel compilation

flags
for the engine <FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>computer in Ellison's Ferrari, but later cut it, due

to an
inability to obtain reliable test data.)

Events
intervened, as they must. (You may use the preceding sentence

as a
Total Explanation for Everyting in Reality) Steve could not do the
book
he originally envisioned. Rest assured, if he had, you'd probably
have a
copy of the Oracle source code on your desk now.

  Hi
  Patrice,
  <SPAN
  class=724292319-15022001> 
  Ross
  is right. Sorry that you did not find anything helpful in my book. I did not   include the error handling module in the scope for my book, because I don't   think it's very interesting. Here is what the introduction of my book says   about the services layer in general, and then about the scope   ...   

    <SPAN
    class=724292319-15022001>The services layer provides low-level services that     are used by all the higher layers, such as error handling, debugging, and     tracing facilities, as well as parameter control and memory services. In     particular, the service layer is responsible for generic concurrency control     facilities such as latches, event waits, enqueue locks, and instance locks.     This layer is also responsible for the management of the data structures for     background and user processes and sessions, as well as state objects,     inter-process messages, and system statistics.     <SPAN
    class=724292319-15022001>...
    <SPAN
    class=724292319-15022001>This book covers the kernel services for waits,     latches, locks, and memory.

  Would anyone know what this refers to?   I have a trace file with cryptic information in it, and can't   make sense of it.
  I thought perhaps I could figure out what this is by looking   in the Oracle Internals book by O'Reilly, but no   success.  It does say that KS is a layer used by   the other layers for memory management, cursor space and other   things, but that's all the information I could get out of   that book.
