Hi,
Is sorting in PGA done by copying blocks from SGA to PGA?
Can anyone explain how it's happening?
Thanks...

Hi,
In Oracle doc,it's given that PGA consists of,
1. Stack space (contains session's variables, arrays, and other information)
2. UGA (session-specific data)
in case of Dedicated Server mode.
But in case of MTS,PGA consists of only Stack space & UGA is moved to shared pool or large pool.
My question is,
1. Why UGA is placed in shared memory in case of MTS?
2. If UGA is placed in shared memory since it is shareable among shared server processes,why not stack space placed in shared memory region because it also contains session-specific info?
Can anyone please explain what is the exact difference between contents of Stack space & UGA that makes onething to be placed in shared memory region & other in PGA itself in MTS mode?
Thanks...

Stack is not shared because it is used only during calls (piece of code execution). During a call you stay with the same shared server, so it can use its own memory and does not need shared memory for stacks.
Between calls there are no more stack.
For instance, you launch a select, a shared server is allocated for you, when it executes your query it allocates (private) memory for stack, when it completes the query it returns you the result and frees space allocated for stack (and forget you).
Regards
Michel

Is this not briefly?
Process read a block (buffer) in SGA, put it in buffer in PGA then extract data to sort from this buffer and put it in sort area.
