Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) concepts
The post provides a quick overview of Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) concepts and operations. ASM Basics - ASM exists to manage file storage for the RDBMS. - ASM does NOT perform I/O on behalf of the RDBMS. I/O is performed by the RDBMS processes as it does with other storage types. Thus, ASM is not an intermediary for I/O (would be a bottleneck). - I/O can occur synchronously or asynchronously depending on the value of the DISK_ASYNCH_IO parameter. - Disks are RAW devices to … [Read more...] about Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) concepts

Understanding Oracle Database Automatic SGA Memory Tuning
In Oracle Database 10g, Automatic Shared Memory Management (ASMM) feature is introduced to automatically determine the size of Database buffer cache (default pool), Shared Pool, Large pool and Java pool (starting with 10gR2, the streams pool is included) by setting the parameter SGA_TARGET. This feature reduces the tasks like dynamically analyzing the database workload and redistribute memory across the SGA pools. Benefits of Automatic Shared Memory Management Automatic Shared Memory … [Read more...] about Understanding Oracle Database Automatic SGA Memory Tuning
New Background Processes In Oracle Database 10g
The background processes of the Oracle instance manage memory structures, asynchronously perform I/O to write data to a file on a disk, and perform general maintenance tasks. Each background process has a separate task but works with the other processes as well. The post provides information on some new and some pre-existing background processes in 10G which may be unfamiliar.
