this means it's impossible to calculate database memory usage in a simple

Yes, I've discovered that.
so I'd go with kevin's recommandation to use some tool to look at global OS
level to see memory usage. besides the omitted shared memory, it's accurate.
I've cobbled together a script to scan the /proc/<PID>/maps files for
a process owner, and add up the memory, hopefully with a minimum
of double counting.
The results for running it on 2 servers are approximately what I
would expect to see. This includes shared memory.
