    Freelist

    Hi,

    I am running 32(rating) and 31 (billing) process parallel. I have configured my FREELIST to 97 for a data segment.

    Do u think it is in a high end? If I set my freelist to a very high value, say 97, what is the impact on APPLICATION/DATABASE performance beside disk usage!!

    Regards

    Sounds very high ... freelists require space reserved in the database blocks, so they reduce the amount of available space for actual data, and decreasing the data rows-per-block means a corresponding increase in your i/o requirement to retrieve a given number of rows.

    Hi Pando

    what is the harm of having a very large freelist for a segment? How it should be?

    Hi,

    According to TOM

    You want the number of freelists in general to be close to the number of concurrent insert|update sessions you think will be happening on a table|index (upto some reasonable number -- say 20).
