    oracle.exe memory usage on Win2k

    Hi,

    I have an instance with the following SGA memory configuration:

    SQL> show sga;

    Total System Global Area 1496967196 bytes
    Fixed Size 75804 bytes
    Variable Size 408711168 bytes
    Database Buffers 1088102400 bytes
    Redo Buffers 77824 bytes

    However, I notice in Task Manager the ORACLE.EXE is using 1,529,160K under Memory Usage. Is there any relationship between the two?

    I heard Win2k processes can only manager memory address space up to 2GB. Does it mean I can't have more than 2GB for Total System Global Area as shown above?

    Thanks,

    Hei, your sga_max_size (or actual sga size in 8i) is about 1496M, while from task manager, it should be slightly larger, as oracle executable and other library also takes memory, right?

    Thanks for the reply.

    What about Server Processes in Dedicated Server mode and background processes? Are they part of this 1,529,160K Memory usage for ORACLE.EXE? I don't see separate processes listed in the Task Manager for them. It looks like everything is part of the ORACLE.EXE Memory usage.

    Thanks,

    Sure.
    Oracle on windows platform is single process multithread archtecture.
    You can use tools like Qslice to see every thread in this process.
