How Oracle works in Shared Server Mode?
You can run Oracle system in two modes: Shared Server Mode
or Dedicated Server Mode. The Figure 5-1 depicts how Oracle
system (Instance as well as database) works in the shared server
mode. The Shared Server mode can be best visualized if you
imagine a restaurant as shown in the Figure 5-2. There are two
waitresses serving more people. So two waitresses are being
shared by let's suppose 10 people. In this case the “idle time” for
each waitress will be less compared to the situation where we
will be having one waitress per person. Similarly in a shared
server mode we would be having less Server Processes serving
greater number of connected users.
