List please try out the following : 1. select sum(bytes) from v$sgastat where pool='shared pool';
2. find out the size of the shared pool you have specified in your parameter files. 3. subtract the two values 4. When I do the same as above the difference is exactly equal to my db_cache_size. So does this mean that if I allocate x MB to my buffer cache, Oracle allocates that x mb for the buffer cache , and an additional x mb for managing the buffer cache and places it in the shared pool ? Please explain this to me. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
