For each process 'reserved' by oracle, there is a small amount of space allocated in the SGA and a semaphore is reserved at the O/S level (assuming UNIX). A lesser number of processes will allocate a slightly smaller amount of SGA and fewer semaphores. Until a session is started, no other memory is allocated.

All,

What is the impact of "processes" init.ora parameter other than restricting number of user sessions ? I know it needs more memory (like stack size + sort area size + etc. ) whenever it gets new connection.

My question is:
Is there any additional resource (does it take more memory? ) usage if I start database with 100 processes versus 200 processes as init.ora parameter (assuming that I have same number of sessions in both cases).

Thanks for your help.

Bob
