GC_DEFER_TIME (Oracle8 Only)
Values:Any positive integer
Default:0
Specifies the amount of time, in hundredths of a second, that the server waits, or defers, before responding to forced-write requests for hot blocks from other instances. Specifying this parameter makes it more likely that buffers will be properly cleaned out before being written, making them more useful when read by other instances. It also improves the chance of hot blocks being used multiple times within an instance between forced writes. The default value is 0, meaning that the feature is disabled and the server will not defer.
