>>      Your assumption is wrong. The fixed SGA contains variables that
are known at oracle compile time or point to structures in variable
part.  So the answer is that generally speaking, all x$ are in the
variable part of the SGA. Also there may be multiple segments but they
are contiguous in memory (not always the case),


... Anjo, does it really matter that the segments are not contiguous in
memory? They
should be contiguous in the address space of the process and that should
be all that matters. No ?
I've never seen any other port of Oracle than the one I worked on, but
from my 
memory of the code, I can't image how Oracle would work at all with
virtual address
holes in the midst of the SGA.
