    Unhappy

    Hi Guys,

    I would like to ask your advice on configuring my Oracle Server's SGA size (for OLTP). I have a machine with 512MB of RAM running WindowsNT

    1. how much memory must i allocate for the SGA? currently its about 40% of the total RAM.

    2. how much size will i allocate for the Data Buffer Cache? Log Buffer? and Shared Pool Size?

    3. what should be the size of my Redo Log Files in relation to my Redo Log Buffer

    I hope you guys can help me out. Thanks

    The Maverick

    Log Buffer - Depending on what is going through the system, but there is rarely any benefit to setting this over 1 MB. I keep it set at the default, at the most doubleing it. Buffer Cache and Shared Pool. Off the cuff, I'd make my BUFFER CACHE 3/4 of your SGA and the Shared Pool 1/4 of the size.

    3). Redo logs size should haven't have much bearing on the size of your redo buffer and vice-versa... unless of course you are doing something with HIGH VOLUME inserts. Then that's a different story. Redo Log size depends on how often you want your REDO LOGS to switch. This will also determine the recoverability of the database.

    Cheers,
