    how do you know you have '238MB' free space in the SGA. The SGA is made up of many components which do different things

    wow your sort area size is too big, thats 58M per process not for the whole instance.

    Knock that down to a few MB at most

    if not set then forget about your PGA settings, you are NOT using it

    your sort is too big for an OLTP system

    if you always have free memory then may be your sga is oversized?
