Syntax option: NUMBER OF SWEEP ROWS IS n Specifies the number of modified rows that will be written from the row cache back to the database by the row cache server (RCS) process during a sweep operation. When the RCS is notified that a cache is "full" of modified data, the RCS starts a sweep to make space available in the cache for subsequent transactions to be able to insert rows into the cache. Oracle Corporation recommends that you initially specify the number of sweep rows to be approximately 5 percent of the total number of rows in the cache. Then monitor performance and adjust the number of sweep rows, if necessary. Allowable values must be in the range 2 through 524288. If not specified, the default is 3,000 rows.
