ALTER RESOURCE COST

Synopsis

ALTER RESOURCE COST 
[CPU_PER_SESSION weight]
[CONNECT_TIME weight]
[LOGICAL_READS_PER_SESSION weight]
[PRIVATE_SGA weight]

Modifies the formula used to calculate the session’s total resource cost. This cost may then be limited by the COMPOSITE_LIMIT parameter in a user’s profile.

Tip

The total resource cost is calculated by multiplying the amount of each resource used in the session by the weight assigned to that resource and adding the products for all four resources. The result is expressed in service units. You must activate the ALTER RESOURCE COST privilege to issue this statement.
