Hi,

I am using Oracle 8i(8.1.17) on sun solaris.
After running the database for say 2-3 hours, it becomes slow. My queries takes long time to fetch the results.

If I shutdown the datbase and re-start it, then performance becomes OK.

I am able to see that free memory is there.

What could be the reason for slowing down.


It would be appreciable to get a resonse.

We had the same issue with memory leak on OPS 8.1.7 (also Solaris). Try to look for a patch at Metalink, unfortunately I don't remember its number, but it was not public one (I found its number in forum but had to order it via local representative). Another (probably even less helpful) advice is to upgrade to 9i
