I've had an Oracle analyst tell me in MetaLink, that it's not uncommon to have a 10GB shared pool, which I thought was ludicrous, but, she was adamant. But, Tim seems to have topped even that statement! -Mark Mark J.

From V$SGASTAT where POOL =3D 'shared pool': * free memory =3D 434.05 Mb * SQL area =3D 12,099.33 Mb I think it's way too big for the application (DW), but with 160Gb of RAM to use up, we're doing our best! I've thought about throwing office parties in all that RAM, but then I worry about the sticky mess the next day. And don't even ask about DB_CACHE_SIZE... :-) We're not experiencing problems querying V$SQL or unusual latch contention or anything (yet)... on 4/5/04 2:54 PM, Paul Baumgartel at treegarden@xxxxxxxxx wrote: > What's the largest shared pool size you've ever seen? >=20 > I'm doing an evaluation of a company's Oracle environment and, boy, is > their shared pool huge.
