    Large Pool is used for I/O slave processes with RMAN. It improves performance by offering extra buffer space.

    You can size the large pool with

    LARGE_POOL_SIZE
    LARGE_POOL_MIN_ALLOC

    parameters in init.ora

    If the size is 0, the large pool is not set.

    Good luck.

    Also used for:

    Session memory for MTS.
    Parallel execution when PARALLEL_AUTOMATIC_TUNING parameter is set to true.

    LARGE_POOL_SIZE does not improve I/O slave processes.
    If this area is set, then it will be used for PL/SQL procedures.
    In general, 10 % of SHARED_POOL_SIZE is set for this parameter.
    If your application has more procedures and functions, then set this value to high.

    I beg to differ, the abowe is all wrong. Large pool is not a part of SHARED POOL and has nothing to do with it, so comparing its size with SHARED_POOL_SIZE is irrelevant. Shared pool is totaly separate part of SGA, and as stated in some previous answers, plays its role in any of the following areas:
    - sesion memory for MTS configuratins
    - inter process comunication for parallel executions
    - disk I/O buffers for RMAN

    You will not find any PL/SQL procedure in a LARGE_POOL.

    Modic,

    I agree with you one point. LARGE_POOL_SIZE does improve I/O Subsystem process particulary on Tape writing. It was my mistake.

    I did not say that LARGE_POOL_SIZE is within SHARED_POOL_SIZE. What I said 10% of SHARED_POOL_SIZE can be set for LARGE_POOL_SIZE.
    In general Oracle uses LARGE_POOL_SIZE for loading a large PL/SQL block. The minimum setting is 300K, but the setting must also be big as the LARGE_POOL_MIN_ALLOC, which is the minimum size of SHARED POOL memory requested that will force an allocation in the LARGE_POOL_SIZE memory.

    You will find PL/SQL BLOCK in LARGE POOL memory.

    I will add also Oracle*XA.

    LARGE_POOL_MIN_ALLOC is used to avoid fragmentation. All large pool chucks are rounded up to _LARGE_POOL_MIN_ALLOC which is 16K by default.

    And, tamilselvan is right, jmodic is wrong: the Large Pool hadles for example the big Designer PL/SQL packages.
