Hi All,
I learnt that DBWn writes when few events occur including a TIMEOUT.

I just wanted to test the timeout option, for which I did the following.

SQL> create tablespace t1 datafile '/erp/oracle/test/t1.dbf' reuse;
Tablespace created.


SQL> CREATE TABLE T1(v number)tablespace t1;
Table created.

SQL> INSERT INTO T1 VALUES(1);
1 row created.


SQL> INSERT INTO T1 VALUES(3);
1 row created.

SQL> host

$ cd /erp/oracle/test

$ mv t1.dbf t2.dbf

$ exit

SQL>commit;

commit complete


I wanted to know when the TIMEOUT would occur when a DBWn tries to write to the datafile and the error is thrown?

Regards,
Anand

What kind of error are you expecting? It is an internal functioning of Oracle and it happens automatically.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I am talking about the internal function of oracle only.

When would the time out occur?

Hi,
Thanks for providing that hyperlink. That was really useful.

So with the situation given in my post, if I have no transactions thereby reducing the scope of a log switch, when do you think DBWn would attempt to write the dirty buffer to the datafiles.

Regards,
Anand
