    sections that are not backed by any file do not require a backing file. Suggested Parameter Settings Big Oracle Blocks (BOB) provide the ability to support larger I/O transfers between memory and disk because BOB allows the system to move data faster between memory and disk With VLM configurations, system performance depends directly on the ability of the system to move database blocks into the SGA as efficiently as possible Without the benefits of improved data transfer, performance can decline.

    Other Recommendations Check statistics, such as V$SYSSTAT, to see if the number of sorts to disk is high compared to in-memory sorts SIZE. Other Recommendations Check the size in number of rows of the tables involved in the query, and translate this size into total number of blocks hard hit table blocks in DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS.
