Re: Shared Memory segment (5 of them)

Generally, something needed lots of memory, probably a sort or something. It is generally better to have fewer segments, you might be able to remove them using "onmode -F". If you have HPUX, you should have fewer than 4 segments in total, AIX has a limit of 10 before you run into performance problems. I'm not aware of any limits in other Unices, and NT is like a black hole to me. And I don't know it's memory architecture. :-) ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
