In Oracle 10g, what is the difference between a Dedicated server and a Shared server?

Thanks,
Michael
 
The same as in the prior versions:
Dedicated server: a process is created for every client connection.
Shared server: 1-n Processes handle all client connections.

Shared server is used to reduce the OS-overhead for lots of clientprocesses. With less than 500 users (depending on OS, hardware,...) usually dedicated server is used, as building up a connection may take a bit longer with shared server.
