Hello,

I read in few blog and they are saying, oracle11g allocate
60% of the memory to SGA and 40% of the memory to PGA
when we enable MEMORY_TARGET to non-zero.

Here are few blogs...

http://hemora.blogspot.com/2009/12/memory-parameters-in-11g-memorytarget.html

http://oracle-online-help.blogspot.com/2008/03/memory-parameters-in-11g-memorytarget.html

http://opsc.itpub.net/post/38822/497514

http://asanga-pradeep.blogspot.com/2009/10/memory-target-on-11g.html

It is not working on that way(60:40) on my database.

Here is my DB version.

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
CORE    11.1.0.7.0      Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production

Here memory_target is 11GB. SGA is not showing 60%
of memory_target....

SQL> select value from v$parameter where name='memory_target';

VALUE

11811160064

SQL> show sga

I am not able to find 60%:40% concept in oracle document...
so all the above blogs info are wrong?

Any clarification is helpful.

post results from SQL below

SELECT * FROM V$SGA_TARGET_ADVICE;

>I read in few blog and they are saying, oracle11g allocate 60% of the memory to SGA and 40% of the memory to PGA

What happens if you need to run more than 1 instance on a single system?

Not everything found on the 'Net is true.

In my system, i have only one instance. Not sure, how it works if there is more then one instance in single system...
