Oracle Database Memory Management

This document discusses Oracle Database memory management. It describes the different memory advisors available depending on the memory management mode. There are three memory management modes: Automatic memory management, Automatic shared memory management, and Manual shared memory management. Each mode determines what parameters Oracle will automatically tune and what parameters need to be manually set. The dependencies between the memory tuning parameters also change based on whether Automatic Memory Management is enabled or disabled.

Memory Advisors
Memory Advisors The Memory Advisors provide graphical analyses of total memory target settings, SGA and PGA target

 Memory Advisor settings, or SGA component size settings. You use these analyses to tune database performance and for

 SGA Advisor what-if planning. Depending on the current memory management mode, different memory advisors are

 Shared Pool Advisor available.

 Buffer Cache Advisor  If Automatic Memory Management is enabled, then only the Memory Advisor is available. This

 PGA Advisor advisor provides advice for the total memory target for the instance.

 If Automatic Shared Memory Management is enabled, then the SGA Advisor and PGA Advisor are

available.

 If Manual Shared Memory Management is enabled, then the Shared Pool Advisor, Buffer Cache

Advisor, and PGA Advisor are available.
