    database parameters for a data warehouse environment

    What are the typical parameters should be set for a data warehouse database?

    Should optimizer_mode be set to choose or all_rows or anything else?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I would set it to all_rows.

    How much memory do you plan to allocate to your SGA and PGA ?

    I would set it to "read_and_understand_concepts_guide_before_I_change_anything", but that's just me.

    PS All_Rows is FTS prone.. ( Better take Marist's suggestion )

    PPS Better to say that First_Rows is index-prone. FTS is not neccessarily a bad thing in a database, especially a data warehouse.

    ... and there's a whole book on data warehousing that should be read, as well as the performance and tuning guide.

    Well i just cautioned... most often then not a FTS is good DW environments... but still depends.. and taking a look at how application queries ( extensively used ) the DB would be better..

    Who of you ever work on a larger DWH project? Because in a DWH envrionment I realy don't see why the optimizer mode "all_rows" should be a problem.

    And the "RTFM" guys may have a look at:
