AW: Slow performance of code using dblinks ver 8.1.6.2

Hi!

Got similar problems concerning database links, mainly slow performance, about 10% of the throughput compared to same processing without db_links.
There seems to be no - or at least only poor - useful documentation for database links and/or
about tuning their performance.

Would be a nice new thread for ORACLE-L : "Database Links: Tuning / Problems / Tips & Traps ..."

The only thing that helped ( in our case) , was to rewrite the code, in order to "partition"
the old big program ( which did all ) into a bunch of small programs ( each doing now only a few things).
Also consider rewriting your programs in such a way, that you can have multiple
instances of them running simultaneously. You know, "divide et impera".

But I'm sure, there must be a secret switch somewhere deep in Oracle's guts, Iabelled "Boost DB_LINK Performance". I just haven't found it yet ;-)
