 Mainly for MTS, RMAN, and Parallel query.

It basically is a seperate area of memory without a LRU list. Although you really can put thing there, Oracle handles this by it's self.

Hi there,

What exactly is the large pool used for?

>From Metalink:

"The two main uses of the large pool in Oracle 8 are:

1. For the User Global Area (UGA) of sessions connected using MTS (multi-threaded server)
2. Buffering for sequential file IO (Eg: as used by server managed recovery when there are multiple IO slaves)"

I'm not using MTS, so I'm not worried about "a".

What do they mean by "Buffering for sequential file IO"? Full table scans?

Thanks,

J
