This is explained in detail in the documentation maybe this is the reason you have no answer.
In short, for database, nothing; for application, they have to handle the return code saying the instance they are currently connected is no more there.

Thank you Michel,

When we have to bounce database or instance for specific database activities like increase processes parameter
to higher value or some other DB changes which require database or instance to bounce to take effective in database ,
which one to bounce either database or instance ? which one ( database or instance ) will have more impact to users ?

Regards

Bounce instance if it is an instance parameter, bounce database if it is a database parameter.
Of course, bounce database means you stop all instances and so all applications whereas if you stop an instance you stop or relocate (and so impact) the sessions of only the instances you bounce.

Michel

[Edit: add missing "if"]

Well explained.Thank you for that.

Could you list out instance and database parameters in RAC.

I think you should consider listing them yourself. Look at the ISINSTANCE_MODIFIABLE column of v$parameter.

John,

As per your suggestion , i queried v$parameter and found the following results .

SQL> select ISINSTANCE_MODIFIABLE from v$parameter;
SQL> /

ISINS
-----
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE
TRUE
TRUE
TRUE
TRUE
TRUE
TRUE
FALSE
FALSE

ISINS
-----
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE
TRUE
TRUE
TRUE

ISINS
-----
TRUE
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE


There was about 347 rows selected.

from above results could you tell me how to list out instance and database parameters in RAC?

Thanks

So to get the name of the parameter for which ISINSTANCE_MODIFIABLE is true what have you to add to your query?

Swan,

For Processes parameter, the value of ISINSTANCE_MODIFIABLE column is false.Does it mean that we cannot bounce
at instance level to change processes parameter ?

I dont get your point.Its really confusing me.

>I dont get your point.Its really confusing me.

I don't get why you require others to clear your confusion.
You can simply test yourself on your own test DB what works & what does not work until you are no longer confused.
We have no direct impact on Oracle or your confusion!
So stop blaming us for your own reality!

Suhas, I think the BS is a few time zones West of us. So I'll try again.

When you first replied to my suggestion that looking at v$parameter.isinstance_modifiable might help you to determine whether a parameter has an instance scope or a database scope, I was astounded that you replied with query that projected just that one column. I ignored it, because I assumed that you were just trying to make people angry by being deliberately obtuse.
But since then, it does appear that you really did not understand. There are two issues: whether a parameter can be changed without restarting anything (issys_modifiable), and whether a parameter can have different values in different instances (isinstance_modifiable).
So start looking up a few parameters in the docs, and you'll be able to work out what is going on.
