For those of you that have set up test databases on your laptops or desktops, with around 512Mb of physical RAM: What settings do you use for your SGA sizes? I suppose the main ones are: Db_block_buffers/db_cache_size java_pool_size large_pool_size shared_pool_size I have a totally default installation of 9.2 on my desktop for testing with. I want to install 10g along side it.. Preferably I'd like to have them both up and running at the same time. Any hints or tips?
