Hi,

Yes I remember shared pool's around 30MB being large and many databases with < 10MB. One error we used to get on dev databases was direct path sql loader jobs failing with insufficient space in the shared pool, from memory we had to increase the shared pool to around 9-15MB, sorry can't be more specific.

This was on 7.3.2 on hpux.

Cheers,

Chris

I've still got my create scripts hanging around from those days... came in handy last month when I had to recreate a 8.0 database on ancient hardware that had crashed.. ;) 

From the 7.3.4 init.ora (1998): 

shared_pool_size              = 6000000  # small:3.5M  medium:6M   
    large:9M

Cheers,
Tony
