RE: core_dump_dest = /dev/null?

Hi Dale,

Have a look at the background_core_dump and shadow_core_dump parameters.

Here's an interesting thought - since Oracle very rarely wants the core dump files, and since they can consume a lot of space unless you routinely clean them up, is there any disadvantage to setting the core_dump_dest parameter to /dev/null? Has anyone actually tried this? Seems like it should work...
