Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> optimizer_index_cost_adj and optimizer_index_caching
Oracle support(without knowing anything about my system) is telling me to use the following settings:
OPTIMIZER_INDEX_CACHING = 50
OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ = 5
Tom Kyte's book effective Oracle by Design recommends starting optimizer_index_caching at my cache/hit ratio and adjusting as needed.
Tim Gorman's paper 'Search for Intelligent Life in the Cost-Based Optimizer' states that OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ should be set between 10 and 50 for most OLTPs.
This is a hybrid system, but I only have the OLTP parts to stress test(the other parts are still in early phase development). Does anyone have any opinions on this?
