    Unhappy Sometimes Oracle9i Database startup process uses 1GB Mem

    Hi,
    I am running Oracle9i on RedHat Linux 7.2. I successfully installed Enterprise edition and created a brand new database. Everything is fine and working normally. but, sometimes when I startup my database the server process is going on graping the Mem upto 1GB. ( which is my total RAM ) and its going on using the swap area also. which making my server to slowdown. after waiting for 3 to 4 min. I am forced to kill the Process.

    Why its happening? Is their any changes need to be done at Kernel?

    Can any 1 help me????

    ThanX in Advance...........

    HI,
    set SGA_MAX_SIZE = integer [K | M | G] in your init.ora file.

    Cheers.

    ps doesnt show real memory used though

    I have been searching how to see real memory used in unix/linux and so far I only know in Solaris you can see with pmap but others no luck
