Fantastic! Now that the machine is down (and not your fault) - time to upgrade to 64 bit!

If the split is 1/3 then shouldn't 3gb be the largest SGA? I've read that before in documentation and that was my assumption. We're trying to phase out these 32bits but there are already a lot in the field. From the docs Grainger posted above: "In a typical 32-bit Linux kernel, one can create ...

FWIW I always found Oracle a pain to work with as well. As I had mentioned in an earlier thread, if the company makes almost as much money training people to use their systems as they do selling the systems themselves, then it's in their best interest to obfuscate things as much as possible to get p...

This was written about 32-bit windows, but likely applies to most 32-bit systems. If you do not have sufficient address space to allocate PGA memory, you can run into ORA-04030 errors or system commands can fail with OS error 1450 or 997. The following solutions are suggested: Run a smaller workload...

Woot! Happy birthday to both of you.

Greebo finished the internet a long time ago. Now he just reads the updates. All of them.

That shit is HI-larious.

Wireless is good for mobile computing. Other than that don't do it. +1 from me. The only exceptions are devices that do not necessarily need a solid connection.

Their setups are pretty good, I have a rig based off an older build which is not bad at all. Also, they hit all the price points.

Note that both Oracle and Microsoft make a HUGE proportion of their revenue from training, so it's in their best interest to obfuscate things as much as possible so that you need a course to do anything. MySQL may be going the same root, but it's nowhere near there yet and is still the sane choice f...

Jesus, that was one large article from AOL news, of all places. I saw Quebec, so that means Malstrom is trying to kill me. You sumabitch! We've taught you well! Too well! Shhhh. Just breathe in deeply. It'll be ok. That scratching in your lungs? That's a good scratching. Don't even think about it...

Dunno if you guys are aware, but Wilee, who used to be in the Grim, was recently promoted to head engineer for the Canadian ISS development effort. He actually got a conference call at home one night last year, from both NASA and the astronauts calling from the space station to get help troubleshoot...
