RE: SGA QUESTION

Hi all,

I don't remember the limit, but there *is* an upper limit on the amount of memory that a single process can address in NT (was it 2Gb?). Since the architecture of Oracle on NT is a single-process-multi-threaded one, and all of the SGA and PGA is actually within this process space, I believe that you may be bumping this upper limit....

Maybe someone with a deeper understanding of NT can chip in (Anita?)
