!! Please do not post Off Topic to this List !!
Thanks for all who have replied. My lack of Unix understanding is becoming very clear. Please bear with me. If top is showing the SGA's memory added to the user's allocation, why does pmap show what it does? Oracle has been less than helpful. Any ideas about this?
