Hi Gurus.
My query is using big hash joins. I had set PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET=4GB. But when
I observed the pga statistics, I found that the max. pga used by a session is
300M. That was the only user session running.
Later I used manual PGA and defined the hash_area_size=2GB explicitly. Then
oracle started using the whole hash_area and the query ran faster.
Would like to know why oracle did not allocated teh desired hash_area_size when
I used auto PGA?
Are there any situations where we should use manual pga?
Anything I missed?
