Hi Sonia...

Unix I assume? How are you determining the memory usage? Many unix utilities can be misleading (i.e top) and report the shared memory segment in each process... Check ipcs -ma to see the size of the shared memory segment...

Hello All,
How does oracle allocate memory to oracle shadow process (client). eg. oracleORCL
(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=no
)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ))). I have dedicated connections to the databases and the processes are using 320M-340M of memory. Is there any parameter I can change to reduce the memory allocation to about 30M or less.

Current value for Sort area size value is 65536.

Thanks
Sonia P.
