Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Probably stupid question about sum of SGA sizes on NT server...
You can exceed the 256Mb, if you don't mind the continual swapping to disk, and the thrashing that comes with that. ;-)
Usually not a good thing to do.
It's usually a good idea to allow some room for the Operating System as well.
just remember, Virtual Memory = disk swapping (usually)..
