In my experience not only does 9i normally require a larger shared pool
to run the same applications as 8i, if you move from 32 bit to 64 bit
this will likely require additional memory be allocated to the shared
pool also.

If you do both at once then doubling is not out of the question.  It
depends on your application, concurrent user load, and how much slack
you had in your 8i system, but normally more memory is required by 9i
over 8i.

After a major upgrade changes in optimizer behavior could require tuning
or retuning SQL.  There are over a dozen optimizer related underbar
(hidden) parameters that defaulted off in 8i and which default to on in
9i.  Some sites were bitten by bugs related to some of these.  However
if you went from 8i to 9.2 you should have gone all the way to 9.2.0.6
(or at least .5) and most of these bugs are fixed by then.

Subject: Slow Database Aft Upgrade from 8i to 9.2

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.

Thanks, Laura
