Hi Have you tuned the database? Do you have DBA's that monitor the database etc. What is your storage sub-system? Most database performance issues come back to the application.
Run an AWR report against it from SQL*Plus and then get it analysed at http://www.oraperf.com (it's a free service you just need to register). Run the script ${ORACLE_HOME}/rdbms/admin/awrrpt.sql during your peak loads. Sizing a database machine is much more complex than you imply. I have a lot of databases that run on machines of that size and they are capable of a lot of transactions per second. Regards. Nick Havard mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S.

We also had issue with c3p0 connections from nodes having issues and upgraded it. Can someone recommend machine (HW) specs for a oracle 10g database under these conditions please. regards mohan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
