Michael, I could easily be wrong but I think you are getting 04030 errors because you have allocated too much of your total available memory to the SGA and do not have enough left to be allocated to the PGA's of your user sessions. Have your tried reducing your SGA_TARGET to say 800M or 1G and seeing if this eliminates the 04030 errors while still allowing the database to perform well enough? Why can't you use the -3G or better yet /PAE switch to make more than 2G available? -- Mark D Powell -- -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Ray Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 11:31 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Manual mem management in 10g Powell, Mark D wrote: > Michael, Being that a 4030 is process memory not a shared pool error > like the 04031 error what are the automated memory management values > for your system?

Win2003 STANDARD Edition w/ 4GB RAM but we can't use use /3GB switch so Oracle can only have 2GB. This is EE Oracle and only 1 instance on the box, which has a primary standby on another box. There are 73 records in v$session, which should be typical, and 131 threads, which sounds right for that many sessions.
