The 5 pages are in your book: section 9.2; you got half the picture though! Walk to a developer in Building 300 and get the rest of the story on cursor sharing.

An idiot on his web site once said:

"The reason for this is simple: bandwith. One paper on installing Oracle 9i onto Red Hat 9 was nearly 8MB in size (all those screenshots!). With about 100 downloads a month, that's nearly half our monthly bandwidth gone at a stroke... for one paper! ...."

Check the spelling of bandwidth : bandwith Check his page rank on google: 0

Check his e-book: no refs at all!

Do your students an advice: stick to backup and recovery; leave performance tuning to others. Received on Mon Jun 07 2004 - 03:52:52 CDT
