Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: SNP acronym?
It's the oracle job queue processes... The following is an educated
guess... If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me...
:-)
I think SNP originally stood for snapshot job... When Oracle introduced snapshots, they needed a mechanism to schedule and run snapshot refreshes... Hence the SNP background processes... Then someone at Oracle decided they could externalize this mechanism and DBMS_JOB was born...
Can anyone confirm (or crush) the theory? Tim
