Hi, friends: Several months ago there is a thread talking about choosing the proper memory size for windows server running oracle. And today I logon to one of my small oracle on NT and found something I cannot understand. It is a small application running Oracle 817/win2k. SGA is 970M and PGA(maxsize) is 40M. Connection is 20.But from task manager, Oracle is using 1005M physical Memory and 1013M virtual memory(you can view the data from here: http://www.cnoug.org/html/ut/attach/2003/12/04/12516-oramem2-embed.gif).
SQL> show sga Total System Global Area 971040796 bytes Fixed Size 75804 bytes Variable Size 299798528 bytes Database Buffers 671088640 bytes Redo Buffers 77824 byte SQL> select count(*) from v$session; COUNT(*) ---------- 18 SQL> select sum(value) from v$sesstat where statistic#=(select statistic# from v$statname where name='session pga memory max'); SUM(VALUE) ---------- 39526196 And I looked at another server running SAP/oracle, get similiar data: http://www.cnoug.org/html/ut/attach/2003/12/04/12518-sap-embed.gif (780M sga,33 connection and 25M pga). Can someone explain it?
