Generally, The Oracle rdbms will manage the library cache and it does not give the DBA many tools or options to change how the cache is managed. The command 'alter system flush shared pool' will clear sql and control information that is not currently in use from the shared pool. Other than increasing the size of the shared pool there isn't a whole lot that the DBA can do in this area other than tune SQL so that it is not being ran in a way that causes excessive demands on the shared pool and buffer cache.
