Greetings,

Can anyone help me in determining how to determine how much memory a user process (an Oracle process) is taking? In short, I want to increase the number of sessions for a particualr DB and want to have an idea on the average memory a shadow process takes. I am playing with pmap. Is this the right direction.

I tried using Top Sessions from OEM and see that there is a Sort By UGA and PGA. I know what PGA is, but don't know what UGA is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
-- jeff
