Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Oracle eats up memory
My Oracle 8.1.5 running on Windows NT 4.0 is consuming a lot
of memory and does not release the memory untill the client that is
accessing the database is terminated. My client is also running on
Windows NT4.0. My client is accessing the database using ADO.
On startup, the client opens multiple connections to the database.
The database is searched and updated by the client through stored
procedure on the Oracle. The client closes the connections before
terminating.
I checked the task manager. It shows Oracle uses 245MB of memory
and 570MB of virtual memory.
Why Oracle continues to consume memory and does not release the
memory until the client is terminated.
