RE: SGA Free memory

This is normal behavior as chunks are flushed from and added to the shared pool, the memory fluctuates. As long as you are not seeing ORA-04031 error or contention on the shared pool latch is not too high, you are fine. What RDBMS version are you on?

Subject: Re: SGA Free memory

Hi all:

I am watching the usage of the SGA on my database via the following command:

select to_char(sysdate,'mm-dd-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'), name, bytes/(1024*1024) from v$sgastat, dual
where pool like '%shared%' and name = 'free memory' order by bytes asc ;

I am running it every 10 seconds. Recently I saw the free memory going from
25M to 145M over the course
of 10 sec. I'm wondering what could have caused it. Would appreciate any suggestions

thank you
