RE: Riddle me this Oracle riddle...

By "core" memory do you mean the 18"x18" blocks of doughnuts with the wires in them that magnetized, read, or changed polarity of the magnetization for zero or ones?
That was just a little before I was loading the boot strap loader with the toggle switches on a computer. And a long time before the disk drive with the 12" removable platter in a cartridge. ROR mª¿ªm

Just curious - it's not like I'm trying to be mean or anything. I was just
wondering if this is an issue with certain types of applications. I remember I had to worry about memory usage a *long* time ago when mainframe
systems only had limited core memory (anybody remember core memory?), and
application design and memory reuse was a critical part of the whole process.

But within Oracle, I have not seen the need to worry about these types of
things.
