Re: Error Creating Oracle8 DB (SGA memory location) ?

I'm not sure it's universal, but on Solaris there is a program called "shmat_check" in the $ORACLE_HOME/orainst directory. If you run that, it will tell you if it can snag shared memory or not and what base address it achieves for said memory. That may be how you find the right number. It's what I used when I installed Oracle8 on a Sparc2 (I know, what a pathetic combination).
