Hi,  

Depends also on workarea_size_policy manual or auto, see manuals for that

I had and know of other problems when using auto when PL/SQL arrays are used

Which version are u using?  

Regards,  

Jeoren

Individual sessions can't normally take more than 5% of the total value of pga_aggregate_target.

Subject: Manual vs Auto PGA

Hi Gurus.  

My query is using big hash joins. I had set PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET=4GB. But when I observed the pga statistics, I found that the max. pga used by a session is 300M. That was the only user session running.

Later I used manual PGA and defined the hash_area_size=2GB explicitly. Then oracle started using the whole hash_area and the query ran faster.

Would like to know why oracle did not allocated teh desired hash_area_size when I used auto PGA?

Are there any situations where we should use manual pga?

Anything I missed?
