    Increased Number of Users

    I am new to oracle DBA. I am wondering about how the connection pooling are configured for OLTP Databases. I know that data providers like JDBC,ODBC are used for connectivity from front end applications like .NET, JAVA, but still I need some clarity on the role of DBA to configure the parameters for user's connectivity via applications and how to increase the scalability in matter of concurrent users?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Depending on interpretation this could be a very broad subject.

    You may want to start by taking a look at "sessions" and "processes" initialization parameters.

    Thanks for you reply. Suppose my Database is running in optimal performance supporting 150 user's requests concurrently what if it is scaled to handle 300 user's requests concurrently?. I am guessing that increased memory, disk IO and may be ASM would satisfy this requirement. Are there any more considerations to account for in this scenario. My database show's that a max of 170 session. Is there any way to increase it?

    Thanks in Advance.

    Can't tell. I don't know how much memory the box already has, don't know how big is your SGA, don't know if current scenario is working under stress, don't know how I/O is behaving, don't know if database already has hot spots... just to mention a few "I don't know"

    Yes... research "sessions" and "processes" initialization parameters.

    No problem, just don't forget to pay attention at the relationship in between "sessions" and "processes".
