Hi, DBAs:
I find that one of our database's Shared Pool's memory decreased every day. It is Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows 2K, with 512M Physical memory. When I check v$sgastat, I find the "miscellaneous" part of "shared pool" increased every day, it begans with 500K, then, after two days, it increased to 5586228 bytes, after about 10 days, it increased to 40M, and because I had allocated 50M to the Shared Pool, So the memory available became less and less. And I had to shutdown and restart the database when the available memory of shared pool is below 5M.
I want to know why the memory occupied by "miscellaneous" part is increased? The other database on solaris did not increased. How can I find out what is it? How to prevent it or resolve it without shutdown and restart the database? ( alter system flush shared pool only flush the sql and library cache, and it didn't decrease the miscellaneous part's memory usage. )
Thank you very much!
