I've been working with Oracle 9i for about 8 months on windows XP (the same
problem occurs with WIN2000). However, I noticed that the latest release has
some software that "hits the disk" about every 1-2 seconds! Anyway, this is
a real problem on my laptop, because it can NEVER go into a low-battery-mode
since the disk sub-system is always active. Does anyone know how to shut
this 1-2 second disk hit (evdently a disk-write from what I can tell)? I've
spent about 16 hours
trying to trace which processes which are hitting-the-disk! I've almost
identified it, but when I shut down those processes, I still get the
disk-hits! This is BAD NEWS for laptop users that have to work off battery.
Anyway, I hope ORACLE will fix this problem soon!
Thank you in advance for your advise!

I have both 8i and 9i on my Dell laptop (Win2K). I generally run only
one of the databases on as needed basis. Other then Oracle utilizing
memory... I have not seen any *unusual* I/O. It must be some process
in your particular database (or some other OS process) that is running
every few seconds and doing some disk I/O.

Sorry Larry,
- posting a message 3 times won't help
- The Oracle database is not certified on XP (client only)
- A database will never allow your disk/computer to go to standby.
Stop the database if you want the laptop to go to standby - and
Oracle will
not confirm or fix problems that you encounter on non-certified
operating
systems.
Good luck,
Sander
I have manually put my laptop in standby while database is running... no
issues. Database is available when the laptop is brought online.

I think I'm doing something wrong. I'm able to connect to Oracle just
fine, execute queries and all, but I'm having serious problems with

For example, the following PHP-script on my machine executes about 6

I've written a perl module, currently in use, which does asynchronous

I've had it search successfuly through more than 1000 databases,

Hi,
I have a problem to set a JDBC connection as READ UNCOMMITED.
setTransactionIsolation(Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED)
This is causing lots of blocking on tables

Does anyone have any idea what I'm missing here?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
