ONLINE 7.2 tuned to simulate SE x.x

We have recently 'upgraded' from SE 5.0 to ONLINE 7.2. Performance dropped dramatically on the first day (2 days back), to about 10% of SE performance. A frenetic 36 hours later performance is up to about 30 to 50% of SE level - the users are no longer tearing their hair out, they just have long faces. With SE, I hardly had any configuration to do. Update Statistics once in a while, keep meaningful indexes, recreate them once in a while, make sure the programs are using them, keep the log on different disk and I'm in business. When using ONLINE, its a different ballgame with the myriad of tunable parameters. It would seem logical that a large majority of parameters of ONLINE are also used by SE, except that the DBA cannot tune them. What are they? And what are their values under SE? ---------------------- Rudy Fernandes GIC, Kuwait ----------------------
