Re: Why is Oracle process using 25 MB of RAM when idle?

Well, the last number is, obviously, the size of the area. Only the maps of shared memory, text and data are of some interest. Text is, in case of an oracle process, $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle and you don't have any influence over it. The "data" section are the auxiliary structures. If you are ru

Hi, I have also been researching on how to monitor oracle process memory utilization on different platform . And on hp, it seems more difficult. I once see a note on metalink talking about using kernel debugger on HP to detect it, here is a sample output, but I do not know the detailed

Gogala, I've been searching for a /proc filesystem implementation on HPUX for years. I don't think it's there yet. Yong Huang --- Mladen Gogala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Your process has parts of SGA attached to it. The only way to actually find > out > is to examine the process address space

Your process has parts of SGA attached to it. The only way to actually find out is to examine the process address space wia kernel debugger or /proc file system. First, try with ps -lp and see how big is the RSS (resident set size). On 11/17/2003 02:09:26 AM, "Daiminger, Helmut" wrote: > Hi, > >

Helmut, Seems a bit high to me as well. Concerning the PGA issue, what about running something like : col name format A25 select n.name, round(min(s.value) / 1024) "MIN K", round(avg(s.value) / 1024) "AVG K", round(max(s.value) / 1024) "MAX K" from v$statname n, v$ses

Hi Stephane, thanks for your reply. We are measuring the values by getting the OS process ID of a specific Oracle connection and then trach that process ID using glance (on HP-UX). Since the SGA is ab 1.5 GB, it is definitely not attached to the memory consumed by each process. I know that this

Helmut, I don't know how you are measuring your numbers, but beware that what the operating system reports is often somewhat misleading. Typically, shared memory is often 'attributed' to each and every process linked to it. When you think about it it makes sense, but at the same time it does
