Hi,

OS - HP Unix
Ver - 9.2.0.7

Following is my SGA
SQL> show sga

Total System Global Area 1034907984 bytes
Fixed Size                   737616 bytes
Variable Size             385875968 bytes
Database Buffers          637534208 bytes
Redo Buffers               10760192 bytes


From above, I'm using around 1GB as SGA.

How can I findout which process's using this memory. Basically I want to co-relate the SGA and OS process memory.

Brayan.

SGA is Shared Area, so every process is using it.
It is not in a process memory, it is a shared segment.

Hi Michel,
Quote:

Is this means, in this case the Entire SGA is not occupied the memory??

The entire SGA IS in memory (otherwise you have a problem).
But it is not attached to a process.

Hi,

Yes, For SGA the momory is allocated.

Now, I want to find how much SGA is allocated from OS Angle, but not as a DBA from SQL PROMPT.

At the end, I want to match these both.

show sga gives you the size of shared segment minus a block size.
SQL> show sga
Total System Global Area  536870912 bytes
Fixed Size                  2030264 bytes
Variable Size             167773512 bytes
Database Buffers          360710144 bytes
Redo Buffers                6356992 bytes
SQL> !ipcs -ma | grep 5368
m         14   0x70f92334 --rw-rw----   ... 536879104 ...
SQL> !echo 536879104-536870912 | bc
8192

He was grepping for the amount of Total System Global Area, not needing to type the entire string.
