Introducing the Oracle9i 64-bit Feature

The Oracle 64-bit feature provides the ability to support Very Large Memory (VLM) system configurations with large amounts of RAM.

Benefits of the Oracle9i 64-bit Feature

The primary benefit of the 64-bit feature is "performance", because many operations can now run at memory speed instead of disk speed. With larger amounts of data in memory, the database issues fewer calls to disk, thus eliminating the delay of disk I/O.

Oracle’s 64-bit feature also provides the advantage of "scalability", to support larger number of users and larger amounts of data. The system does not need to swap data in and out of memory to process all of the transaction requests and can more effectively accommodate requests for larger amounts of data.

The 64-bit feature can benefit both query-intensive (DSS) and read-write (OLTP) transactions. For DSS, the database feature provides particular advantage for index builds, full table scans, ad hoc queries, and multi-way joins. For OLTP, the feature provides the ability to support very large tables, large amounts of data, and large numbers of users.

Implementation of the Oracle 64-bit Feature on HP OpenVMS Alpha

Starting with release 7.3.2.3.2, HP OpenVMS Alpha supported the Very Large Memory (VLM) 64-bit feature. The HP OpenVMS Alpha operating system has native 64-bit memory addressing, which allows Oracle9i to implement the 64-bit feature. The need to estimate the maximum System Global Area (SGA) at installation time is now eliminated and process startup times are faster. The Server no longer includes an SGAPAD.

By default, SGA creation uses the support which first appeared in the
