Hi please let me know what version of Oracle you are using. It is possible to modify most of the parameters if it is oracle 9i.

Hi please let me know what version of Oracle you are using. It is possible to modify most of the parameters dynamically if it is oracle 9i, but they wont reflect in pfile.

See here --> Dynamic parameters for a list of dynamic instance parameters. For the rest,you will need to bounce the instance.

Thanks, Good info.

is their any risk - to change those parameters and restart my instance ? or what are the parameters I should take care if I want tuning my oracle instance ?

I know that db_block_size parameter should be not change after the oracle installation - are they others ?

Rayes,this is a generic question.There are a ton of parameters that can be tweaked depending on the environment(eg memory,OS,applications,networking,oracle version etc) & requirements.

Some of the key parameters ,that affect performance are

db_cache_size
sort_area_size
shared_pool_size
hash_area_size
pga_aggregate_target
log_buffer
large_pool_size
cursor_sharing
optimizer_mode
optimizer_features_enable
optimizer_index_caching
optimizer_index_cost_adj
db_file_multiblock_read_count

etc etc

For a complete list and description --> Initialization parameters

Again,you can post specific questions here...
