I would hope that none of the SGA is free.  If you can benefit from the
memory allocated to the SGA, as opposed to allocating gobs of useless
memory, what possible reason would Oracle have not to use it all?

For full table scans, Oracle always puts the blocks at the least recently
used side of the buffer cache, so you only cache 1 block.  If Oracle has to
process more rows than it can cache, it simply ages out the older blocks.

Hi,
How much in general % SGA should be free ? If table size is in 1GB or more
and sga is 80mb how oracle will process the full scan of that particular
table?
thx
