I'm almost positive we did that (I did that); contributed to that, though not alone.
We may have had some cursor leaks as well. Rebooting alone didn't suffice....they did tweak some stuff to how it handles incoming connections. I imagine they either hardcoded some IP addresses as acceptable always, so that the DB listeners would always see those. I think that was a big problem, was that out of all 32 listeners they had, two recognized the IP address, the rest either had run out of memory or maybe the cursor leaks potentially caused them to run out of memory? -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Schultz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 16, 2007 10:03 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Server DB Connects are very slow after restart -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, Propes, Barry L [GCG-NAOT] wrote: > we had similar connection problems with Oracle here. > > At first I changed drivers, which I thought would help, then while I > was furiously trying to implement connection pooling, which I ended > up doing, we discovered there were big problems with the network > connection to Oracle, as well as the listeners cache on the DB being > full. > > They rebooted the oracle server and all was immediately well.

IIRC, Oracle won't release a cursor on the server unless you actually call ResultSet.close. So, even if you don't have a connection leak, you still might have a cursor leak. And, of course, if you have a connection leak -- even one that doesn't snowball over time... like if you have one that runs on startup only but gets leaked -- the server will never drop that connection (at least, this was the behavior of Oracle last time I used it with Java). Connections on the server side require obscene amounts of memory, and you can really bring your Oracle server to its knees with leaky connections and/or cursors. Maybe that doesn't help, but I figured I'd point it out, anyway. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF+rGa9CaO5/Lv0PARAqfMAJ0XzFWKZ+3enY0ge6YPBogaMLHAeACfUmmX nb0jR7W/j1g7TFwug8RaKRw= =fORQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
