"Self Tuning Memory" in Oracle 9i

[a128]

While installing Oracle 9.2, I notice the banner says

"Easier and Cheaper to Manage:
- Self Tuning Memory
..."

I wonder to what degree it tunes itself? Can it tune optimally by itself?

Hi,
Oracle made the first steps; there are dba_views which gives hints for buffer_use and so on.
* The undod-Ts is a step, automatic rollback-admin
* Automatic space allocation in local managed tablespaces
* Important is that in 10 i thru the use if SPFILE's the server can modifiy paramater-settings by itself.
