Hey gang. New job, new problems. I have just been handed a 8.1.7.0.0 database on solaris 5.8 with a little problem. Everything time a client connects, regardless of type, the OS dedicates over 200+ Megs of RAM (as shown by Top) to the user process. Naturally, this is running the box out of memory. The init.ora has the following parameters:
db_block_size = 8192

db_block_buffers = 9652
large_.pool_size = 2000000
sort_area_size=65342
sort_area_retained_size=65342

There is nothing from any logs or trace files that helps. Plus, I am new to

UNIX.
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
