RE: hash joins and pga/temp space?

Interesting.

On my Windows laptop (10.2.0.1) its defaulted to 209715200 (200MB).

I only looked at this setting the other day on a customers 10.2.0.2 AIX warehouse and it was set to 2GB (or 4GB, I've got brain fade).

Possibly it was configured in the init.ora, but maybe it is adjusted by SGA_TARGET. I'll look further tomorrow.

Cheers
Adrian

Well, I checked on my system (10.2.0.2 under Solaris) and assuming the units are in bytes, I see
_pga_max_size "Maximum size of the PGA memory for one process" 419430400

(about 400MB)
