Do you have a "rule of thumb" for how much of the RAM you use for the SGA?

  Sure, that's possible, though at the low end.  I used to run a 7.3.2 database 
on an old laptop that had only 32MB total RAM and I think I ran it with a 4MB 
SGA.  I didn't need a big Buffer Cache or Shared Pool.  You could make it run 
pretty lean.

  List, 
      We have a client running oracle 7.3.4 ( I know it is outdated we are 
pushing to 9i), the sga size is 5MB. Thatâs right it is 5MB. Can a instance 
run with 5mb of SGA? Or is the dictionary table giving me the wrong info or Am 
I missing something here?
