RE: Clash of the DBs in eWeek

On the MTS part, my faux pas. I saw the first "dispatchers" commented out along with the other "mts%" params.

Also, on closer inspection, I was looking at "create_nile2_database_details.htm" in the "C - Create Benchmark Database" folder in the .zip file when I saw that "processes" was set to 150. Perhaps they made changes to the init.ora (from the "B - Configure Database Server" folder) after an initial GUI DB create?

Thanks, Brian, and thanks all else that pointed out the JDBC connection pooling. I've been trying to take a look at that stuff, but I've got no time here at work and I can't run Oracle at home on my Linux/Alpha box. <sigh>

Which docs? I looked at the init.ora file, and it had:

    processes=530

and MTS enabled.
