In Response To: Re: IDS Growth vs Enterprise (Art Kagel)

Thank you for the information.

A related question - If I have two separate instances running on the same server, from the same $HOME directory installation, does that mean that they are sharing the 16 CPUs and the 16 GB of memory, or do they each get their own resources?

Larry

Larry:

The things to look at would be:

- onstat -g rea -r 1 Are the same sessions in the ready queue for more

than a second and you are maxed out at 16 CPU VPS on 16 physical cores (not

hyper-threads)?

- onstat -g rea typically shows more than a couple of sessions waiting

for CPU resources and you are maxed out at 16 CPU VPS on 16 physical cores

(not hyper-threads)?

- message log messages about not being able to increase shared memory

beyond 16GB?

- You have tables approaching the 16million page limit and moving the

table to wider pages is not a good option (ie partitioning/fragmenting

would be better).

- You have tables on which your spend significant time purging older

time bound data that could take advantage of rolling window partitions to

simplify data management and reduce overhead.

- You want/need more than two secondaries.

- You need access to distributed data/distributed queries.

- You could take advantage of GRID/Sharding technology to distribute a

very large database across multiple servers.
