I am from the SQL Server world and I'm very confused regarding my
options.  I have 2 Oracle 9i databases, each running on a Sun Solaris 9
box.  A typical situation will involve pulling data from database A,
doing simple transforms and inserting the data into database B.  This

My test Oracle database server is performing better than my production
database server.
I've spent much time looking at database stats and tweaking different
things at the database level but nothing has helped.

On an Oracle 9i database running on Solaris 8 I need to identify how
many connections are being created by some custom applications.  I am
doing this as we suspect yhey are not ideally managing database
connections and as the DBA I need to prove the case before getting the

Hello NG,
does somebody know if this is a supported configuration:
10gR2 RAC (10.2.0.1.0) (2 Nodes)
AIX 5L Vers. 5.3 Maintenance_Level 03 (64 Bit)

$ORACLE_HOME/lib)

I am very much a beginner at SQL and use iSQL primarily.  I have a
fairly simple query and which performs a SUM function whereby one
number is divided by another.  I would like the answer to be provided
as a percentage as opposed to a decimal.
