Based on free memory you can decide about increase of your buffers. If your db_block_size is 8K, adding 1000 block means addition of 8MB in your SGA. If still not sure check with your Unix Admin. HTH, Regards Rafiq Reply-To: ORACLE-L@fatcity.com To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 09:36:03 -0800 Hi list, I have a question about Unix and Oracle memory allocation. I have to say that Unix isn't my platform, so I think for most of you this will be easy answerd. I have a HP Unix machine with follwing memory infos: Memory Information: physical page size = 4096 bytes, logical page size = 4096 bytes Physical: 524288 Kbytes, lockable: 380640 Kbytes, available: 441536 Kbytes There is a Oracle running on this box. Hit statistics show me that I have to increase the db_block_buffers. What I like to know is, how much more memory can I give oracle? There are about 50 User working with this instance.
