Response out of line. :)

IIRC, you and I spent a lot of time discussing this with the development gu= ys, didn't we? Did it end up being logged as a bug?  =

Subject: RE: Oracle Database Resource Manager

I don't know who the instructor was, but he or she is talking crap (pardon = =3D
my French). Really, what would be the point of implementing a resource man= =3D
ager that itself takes too many resources?

[jl] Good question - I asked myself the same thing when
[jl] I first ran the 9.0.1 resource manager on my HP-UX
[jl] box. Under some conditions the overhead was about
[jl] 100%. Things improved when the sampling rate was
[jl] dropped somewhat.

One thing that people get confused about with the Resource Manager, BTW, is= =3D
 when it actually takes effect. It's when the resource being managed is ex= =3D
hausted i.e. if you're allocating different amounts of the CPU utilization = =3D
to different groups, you WON'T see Resource Manager kick in until CPU utili= =3D
zation hits 100%. After all, it's not a problem till then, right?

[jl] I've found that it tends to kick in only after the demand
[jl] exceeds about 200% of available resources; and then
[jl] the allocation fractions aren't obeyed particularly well.
[jl] One of the positive things about it though is that you
[jl] can set it up to error out any SQL whose calculated
[jl] cost exceeds a given limit - which means less of the
[jl] 'query from hell' stuff wrecking performance for
[jl] everyone else on the system.
