Memory usage by an Oracle instance

Looking at the output from the ps command on AIX I see that each of the Oracle background processes, user processes and the lgwr, dbw0, pmon, reco, ckpt ... is listed as using about 30 mb of memory (based on the SZ column.

  1. Does this value represent both data and code?
  2. Is there any way to determine how much (if any) of the memory listed here is in the form of shared libraries or shared memory segments?
