Vinod, As Narayanan said, I think that is the first approach I will do. can u check it and see. Cause the RAM U have is good enough for Database. (Assuming it is not in TBs). Just reduce yr SGA and check it. Else as u said, the Graph bar saws normal utilisation behaviour, so no higher utilisation problems. and as u said it is OS Memory related problem, give more memory to OS to utilise and try. - Chirag On Tue, 28 Sep 2004 16:13:34 +0300, Vinod Gopinath BMMI IS <vinodg@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello, > Am facing problems (ORA - 04030) on a box having Win NT with Oracle > 8.1.6.
