    tuning memory allocation

    Hi Friends,

    I have read books about tuning memory but I already forgot
    about it because I was not able to apply it in real world. Now,
    I have just installed a new 10gR2 DB for production and I only use
    the default installation. Our server has 4gb memory and I have just
    allocated 300Mb for the shared_pool_size. We will start the prod
    kick-off next week. Although I didnt mind to tune other parameters
    because I know the initial default install can handle our 100-user
    application which I think is not so complex one.

    My question is how do I know if the 300M shared_pool I allocated
    is enough for the 100 users? What dynamic data dictionary will I
    select to show how much memory is being used by each user out
    of the 300M I alloted?


    Thanks a lot

    configure automatic shared memory management (ASM) and let oracle decide for you as the database workload changes. By configuring ASM, you will not need to care for these parameters as they will be configured automatically: shared_pool_size, large_pool_size, java_pool_size and db_cache_size. You can either set these with minimum values or not configure them at all. You will need to set the sga_target to a value equal to or less than your sga.

    Sorry, I don't mean ASM for storage but rather automatic shared memory management. It is only available in 10g and since you have installed 10g R2 you should be able to use it.

    I think there's been an acronym mix up. ASMM is Automatic Shared Memory Management. ASM is as you rightly say Automatic Storage Management.

    Come ON! Surely you can do a little of the work yourself! How hard is it to search for 'Oracle and ASMM'??

    Thanks dear...I read the post....it says use target and
    set autotune pool to zero. How do I know which of them is autotuned?
    Does it mean all the parameter with "_pool" in it? Or all the parameters available in the db.

    Thanks

    as opposed to ASSM, of course!
