Can someone direct me to a place to troubleshoot your database? Is there a way to check for 'Memory Leaks'? I have a tuning book and have been running scripts to find how much is being used, what statements are the worst, etc., but is there a 'common' size for the Shared Pool, Large Pool, Sort, etc? I know it depends on the size of the database. I guess I am just looking for a starting point, i.e. if small blah, blah; if large blah blah, or large pool is ??% the size of the Shared Pool and total db memory should not be more than ??% of physical memory.
