Well I'm an unashamed performance freak, so this sounds wonderful to me; the fact that oninit (the database engine) is getting all the CPU. :-) Of course, if this box is also running your applications then this could be a problem. ;-) It depends on a lot of things: hardware setup; number of CPUs etc. engine setup; onconfig, etc. application setup; running client server, etc. I'm sure this fact alone is not what is making your system administrator crazy. It is normally a pre-requisite for the position..., isn't it? :-) Cheers, -- Mark. +----------------------------------------------------------+-----------+ |Mark D.
