o This command requires exclusive database access (the database cannot be open or accessed by other users). o The Enabled and Disabled qualifiers are mutually exclusive. o The Large_Memory=Enabled and Large_Memory=Disabled qualifiers are mutually exclusive. o Changes made by the RMU Set Global_Buffers command are not journaled. You should make a subsequent full database backup to ensure recovery. o When global buffers are set to reside in large memory (Large_Memory=Enabled), the process that opens the database must be granted the VMS$MEM_RESIDENT_USER rights identifier. Oracle Corporation recommends that you use the RMU Open command when you utilize this feature.
