I'm looking to learn Oracle, so I purchased a CD pack, a one-year
Personal license, a Wrox "Beginning Oracle Programming" book and Alice
Rischert's "Oracle SQL" book. I installed Oracle and the documentation
last night, then uninstalled the extra-cost options (data mining,
spatial, etc).
I'll probably run into answers as I do my reading but right now my system has become bloated and I'd really like to use it for other things, so I thought I might pose these questions...
According to task manager I have two copies of java.exe running using ~18M and ~10M, and I have two copies of Apache.exe running using ~10M and ~31M. Oracle.exe is using ~103M. Is this normal? I've included the output of SQL*Plus "select * from v$sgastat;" below.
I'm wondering if Oracle decided it could use that much memory just because it was available (I have 512M in a 1.7G Celeron system running Win2K Pro), and if I add more if it'll decide it can use it, too? Right now task manager shows I'm using about 410M total with Oracle, Apache and SQL*Plus running (and other stuff). About 200M of this is freed when I shutdown Oracle.
Also, my hard disk is accessed about once per second. This is a new behavior since installing Oracle. What's it doing?
SQL*Plus output follows. I've also included parts of my init.ora file.
Thanks,
Amy
