    1.75Gb unless you start playing around to get extra with AWE / hugemem for example

    1.75GB for what PGA or SGA?

    Isn't on Linux the PGA owned by the session process?

    Davey I think it is 1.7GB combination of SGA and PGA since the memory is per process.

    Hi Pando,

    Isn't the PGA attached to the session process?

    In Linux:

    Procedure how to increase the SGA in LINUX AS/ES 3.


    1. Shutdown the Database.

    2. Add following kernel parameter in /boot/grub/grub.conf

    Kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-34.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet bigpages=6100 MB

    Edit and Add following parameter in /etc/sysctl.conf

    Kernel.shmmax = 4294967295 (not more then it)

    3. Add following parameter in init.ora file:


    Sample calculation for 2GB of db_block_buffers

    (1024*1024*1024)*2/db_block_size (8192) = 262144


    Instead of db_cache_size used following parameter

    db_block_buffers=262144
    use_indirect_data_buffers=true

    4. Restart the Linux server.

    5. Up the database and see SGA

    SQL> show sga


    Total System Global Area 3407418688 bytes
    Fixed Size 451904 bytes
    Variable Size 1258291200 bytes
    Database Buffers 2147483648 bytes
    Redo Buffers 1191936 bytes
