Arup,

Just picking up the thread on the BBWs. (Btw, I asked this question in this list - never got an answer!) The following undocumented parameter limits the numbe of CR copies in the Block buffers.

Name                                          Value
--------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Description
---
_db_block_max_cr_dba                          6
Maximum Allowed Number of CR buffers per dba

What if there are more than 6 concurrent update requests for the same block.
Would that not result in BBW?
