Oracle 8.0.5.2.1 <-- yeah, I know I know... we are going to 8.1.7 eventually
AIX 4.3.3 Hey all.... Looking at our init parameters today after reading Tim Gorman's White Paper "The Search for Intelligent Life in the Cost Based Optimizer" and these 2 stood out like a sore thumb. Both are at the default values:

OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ = 100
OPTIMIZER_INDEX_CACHING = 0 We have an OLTP and a DSS database and I am looking at changing the OPTIMIZER_INDEX_CACHING = 90 for both and setting the OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ to a reasonable value based on db sequential reads vs. db scattered reads as a guideline.... any suggestions/recommendations/words of warning/flogging? There is some scattered info on this on Metalink but I'm looking for some real-world improvements or headaches.

Thanks to all in advance and hopefully I won't have to type HELP so someone can ask me if I'm an idiot....

:-)
