Re: Memory Requirements for Oracle 8.1.6 on Solaris Platform

One thing I found is that Java in the server requires more SGA than you may me used to. You can probably turn this off (anyone know the details?) and save yourself about 50M in the SGA. Other than that the buffer cache is calculated the same as in previous Oracles (buffers * blocksize).
