SreejithFollowing up on just the OTN thread from now on, but won't pmap also be reporting the size of the Oracle executable - which is probably around the 100MB difference you're seeing.

This comes close to what I got from 'session_pga_memory' which is close to 71 MB. Still, I did not get the memory I derived from this calculation . shared memory= 4710400 ( shmid from pmap ) RSS = 4901764 from pmap and ps . So RSS - shared memory = PGA used by this process + (code + data ) ? If Yes then PGA + (code + data ) = 4901764 - 4710400 = 191364 kb = 186 MB. I am getting PGA as 71 MB, so rest ( 186 - 71 ) is the memory for code + data ? I suspect, I might be missing something here ?
