Strange processes
I have some strange processes on my database server. The have an os process id of ora_i### . V$session lists these as background sessions. Any ideas what these could be.

Hi
These are not strange processes at all..they are normal processes..what oracle would call background processes..if any of them fail you oracle instance will come down...You can try shutting down the database and you will see that those process will go away..
They are essential...for the database to work..

Im not talking about the smon, pmon, lgwr or dbwr processes. Im talking about the processes that have a prefix of ora_i###

The ora_ixxx processes are dbwr slaves, look at the value of dbwr_io_slaves in your init.ora
