Re: SGA & shared pool size

I configured one a few weeks ago with 48G SGA and 22GB shared pool for a DWH. I think I hit some bug that is why I need to set the shared pool so large because this is a 6 nodes RAC and whenever shared pool is under pressure process LCK starts to free shared pool memory (observed from v$rowcache and v$sgastat) and holds the shared pool latch which cause hang in the node (sometimes the entire system, all 6 nodes). Previously I had shared pool set to 8GB and the hang situation happened everyday (many times instance dies), when I increased to 22GB it only happens like once every couple of weeks.

v$rowcache shows 7 million entries, anyone seen larger than that? I am really curious.

Thanks
