Seems to be hard to find some doc about Oracle trace.
I still don't know what it does and how it can be useful. If someone could
help !
I just remember than on older versions of Oracle 7.x ( before 7.3.3 I think
), letting these files grow can lead to some performance problems, so,we are
deleting these files, thus stopping Oracle trace feature.
