I suggest you check the amount of disk sort activity (v$sysstat, v$sesstat). If there are numerous disk sorts taking place, you may want to consider raising Sort_Area_Size and Sort_Area_Retained_Size. Also, if the sorting (to disk) is taking place mainly in the batch processes, consider changing these parameters only for those sessions. Changing these parameters at instance level may waste system memory.

HTH,

Hello,

For an SGA of about 512MB and a 2GB database (total of the *.dbf) files.

Is 1MB sort area size enough?

Thank you for any tips.
