I have been lately playing heavily with swingbench to load database. I could 
generate without to 1500 session busy with transaction using MTS on my small 
linux box.
Tuning and againg tuning and finally I ended with PGA and SGA aggretate target 
as only parameters. removed even DB_CACHE_SIZE. let oracle do its internall 
cooking. However I have tested this only with A 1,5G SGA. I heard that when you 
go in the very big size SGA Oracle is not so good but can't confirm. I do not 
have a test box with 100g ram.

Pinning individual sql is a pain. A fuzzy science. IMHO, unless it is really 
needed for some well identified sql then you are better off letting Oracle to 
manage it. You can greatly help Oracle accomplish this by buying more RAM for 
the shared pool. 1G shared pool is not uncommon.
 
I can explain my point: 
 
A) Caching. if sql is really often used then Oracle *must* keep it in the 
pool(cache) because it is hot(warm) 
If it is not then Oracle should be able to push out this sql to make space. 
 
B) Fragmentation. Unfortunetely (or fortunetely) Oracle has no concept of 
compiled(stored) SQL (like DB2 has for example) This means that you can pin SQL 
after DB startup and/or pool flush only after it arrives into the pool. The SQL 
you want to pin may arrive N-hours after database is started. So what? The pool 
gets fragmented long before. I think that by pinning this SQL you fragment the 
pool even more because from my understanding Oracle is not able to 
relocated(well, push out of pool) this SQL any more, is it? Hope I am wrong. 
 
Conclusion: given todays coding culture I do not think much can be done except 
of allocating large enough pool. This reduces some pool problems and does not 
introduce to many others.

Thanks Laimutis and  Mark Bobak, jame tong, Eagle fan, Tanel Poder, Beranrd 
Polarski.
 
I looked at everything. I think cursor_space_for_time will not suit our env 
going by what Tanel said. About sessions_cached_cursors according to metalink 
note 208857.1 sql I used to see the recommendation : it suggests the current 
value of 300 is fully used and could be candidate for increase. However, from 
below document http://www.miracleas.dk/tools/Miracle_2_cursor.pdf
by bjorn ensig of miracle it says : 'There is some overhead in CPU, effectively 
making this parameter useless for values higher than 50-100. 
So am trying to decide which way to go : high or low. I think if it could help 
with memory so should I reduce it. 
I think apart from that I am trying to pin objects and pinning 
package,package body,function,procedure,  trigger,type, sequence
 I think individual sql can also be pinned but I do not know how easy and 
beneficial that is. Is there anything else I can pin? 
 
I am planning to set 
_kghdsidx_count to 1 explicitly. I assume there is no issue with that. It is 
having 2 subpool now. I do not know in what way 2 subpool helps. 
 
Thanks for all the help.

        It is really one of the best explanations I´ve ever seen. At least it 
sounds close to what Oracle programmers really did.
