Hi Gurus,

Please help me in understanding the following....

I have 8 GB of RAM for Oracle on Solaris.

At instance level the following parameters are set: SGA_MAX_SIZE=4GB
PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET=2GB
WORK_AREA_SIZE_POLICY=AUTO At session level I have set the following: WORK_AREA_SIZE_POLICY=MANUAL
HASH_AREA_SIZE=2GB Now my questions are:

1> What is the Maximum memory that can be used by Oracle at any point in time? Is it 6GB (4+2)?

2> If the answer to the above question is yes, then will the HASH_AREA_SIZE mentioned at the session level be allocated from PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET memory?

3> What will be the SORT_AREA_SIZE value for the said session?

4> If parallel queries are run from that session, will each PQ process have 2GB of RAM for HASH_AREA_SIZE?

Regards,

Deep
