Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: AW: RMAN: I don't trust it
Why should the default be scalable? Please tell me, how does Oracle know
how many CPU, Memory, the type of IO system, transaction volume and whether
it's OLTP or DSS, on and on... Every database application is different.
Scalability means different things to different database environments.
And editing init.ora is not how you achive scalability. Some of the tuning
solution might come down to change a init parameter but most of them aren't.

Quoting Richard Ji <richard.ji_at_mobilespring.com>:
I wonder how scalable PostGreSQL is by default using default configs?
I know Oracle in it's default configuration ain't scalable. Funny cause I know certain companies use Oracle thinking this is the solution to their database scalability problem. Only to be surprised when the DB stops working and then finding out later that the init.ora file needs to be edited for scalability. Oracle does not scale itself. It needs to be configured to scale. Why isn't Oracle scalable by default?
