Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: DBWR slaves in NT???
just to clarify the earlier point (which failed to realize that slave processes were being discussed)
Windows NT supplies its own I/O slaves and uses them to see if I/O is complete.
from the 8.1.6 docs:
Initialization Parameters: Multiple Database Writers
See: Appendix B, "Oracle8i Database Specifications for Windows NT"
You can specify more than one database writer process with the initialization parameter DB_WRITERS.
Multiple database writers can help, for example, when a UNIX port does not support asynchronous I/O.
DB_WRITERS, which writes dirty buffers to disk, is not supported. Windows NT supplies its own I/O slaves and uses them to see if I/O is complete.
Multiple DB_WRITERS might cause synchronization problems.
Initialization Parameters Without Windows NT-Specific Values:
DB_WRITER_PROCESSES Not applicable or necessary onWindows NT.
