Hi,

I changed dynamically the db_cache_size=128M.

sql> alter system set db_cache_size=128M scope=spfile;

Now,when I shutdown and startup the database I am getting an oracle error. The below are the same:-

SQL> startup
ORA-00381: cannot use both new and old parameters for buffer cache size specification.

As when I am specifying the
sql> startup pfile='<>'; command it works.

As the parameter changed at spfile and now when I firing the command startup, oracle will automacally search for spfile not for pfile.

So, Why I am getting this error?

Please help.

You can't have db_cache_size and db_block_buffer set at the same time.

could you please let me know the reason?

As my db_cache_size is 0
and db_block_buffers is 50000.

Hi ,

I got my answer.The below are the same:-


The DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS parameter is deprecated in favor of the DB_CACHE_SIZE parameter. Oracle recommends that you use DB_CACHE_SIZE instead. Also, DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS cannot be combined with the new dynamic DB_CACHE_SIZE parameter; combining these parameters in the same parameter file will produce an error. DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS is retained for backward compatibility.

Because:
Quote:

They have both the same function: size the buffer cache and you can only have one value for a size, doesn't it.
