Oracle 9i Database -- DBA Fundamentals II (5)

Usage and Configuration of the Oracle Shared Server

• The dedicated server option is ideally suited for a scenario where the database will support a low number of clients and the clients will remain connected to the database for long periods of time.
• The SHARED_SERVER_SESSIONS initialization parameter specifies the total number of Oracle Shared Server user sessions that are allowed to be implemented. The limit placed on the number of shared server processes allows Oracle to reserve memory and CPU resources for dedicated user sessions.
