Marc has, as I was hoping, done so much better than I could. Most of
what I know is 2nd hand from Oracle users - I'm not one myself.
It's interesting to see the view that the resource manager for query and
user prioritisation is hard to use in practice. That's not something I'd
heard before, but I can't say I'm entirely surprised given how
complicated problems around lock management and priority inversion are
to get right even in a system where there *aren't* free-form dynamic
user-defined queries running.
