Re: To much memory for...

I think he just needs to take a happy pill today. He's suffering a deranged belief that people will/should read the 10,000 pages of documentation before working with oracle.

Anyway, you can reduce the memory requirement enormously by changing the init.ora parameters.

Unfortunately, I don't have oracle and documentation in this environment. There is an initialisation file, normally in something like c:\oracle\admin\<database name>\pfile\init.ora

This file can be edited with notepad. Based on the sample file, you can save quite a lot of memory.

The main entries affecting memory usage are: db_block_buffers =
Amount of memory = block size (normally 8k) * db_block buffers used for caching data read from the database. This can be set quite low, eg 200

shared_pool_size = <size in bytes> 10485760 = 10M, you might be able to get down to 5M
Used for parsing statements, caching data dictionary tables.

java_pool_size =
Used by java, default 20m, set to minimum value (1000000) if not using java.
