Re: Free Shared pool memory

Brain was clearly not engaged when I wrote the last answer - I have a set of results I produced some time back when calibrating init.ora parameters with memory usage. (Out of date by now since it was 8.0).

Simple test:

    Double the size of sessions in the init.ora,     various entries in v$sgastat will increase in     size, even though you haven't changed     shared_pool_size. The shared_pool_size     is just one component of the "shared pool".
