Database Notification consumes very much memory

hi ...
I have designed a helpdesk application using VB.net 2005 with ODP.NET contains terminal form to view the new/updated job orders, and I’m using ORACLE database notification to view the updates.
The problem that's for each notification will be received by the helpdesk client node; the application will consume extra 10MB of memory and will not release that memory.
After 12 Hours the application consumes about 400MB of memory and after that I will see "Out Of Memory" exception.
Any one can help me to free the memory after accepting the "Database Notification".
PLZ Help !!!!!!!

Hi, for best results, please repost this in the ODP.NET forum. One thing you could try is to call Close and Dispose method on each ODP.NET class you are finished with.

  • Oracle Instances Processes  consuming too much memory

    Will somebody be able to guide me with the factors that are causing too much memory consumption when a single Oracle.exe instance is started ? Due to this problem it is not possible to run 2 instances at the same time.
    Oracle is running on Windows NT 4.0 SP6.
    Oracle version 8.1.6.0.0
    Currently we have 512MBytes of ram.(4.83G free space)
    One of the Instance consumes as much as 178,320K of Ram,
    another consumes about 138,000K

    Oracle consumes as much memory as you want, but more memory is faster.
    Review your init.ora (db_block_buffer y shared_pool_size)
    (It4s posible to run 10 instances in a machine with just 1 Gigabyte and they work fine. It depends on the use of the databases, the number of users, just for production or development, etc, ...).

  • I want to ask something about firefox. why firefox use very much memory? can you develop to reduce memory comsume? this problem is very distrub in my PC with low memory.

    I want to ask something about firefox.
    why firefox use very much memory?
    can you develop to reduce memory comsume?
    this problem is very distrub in my PC with low memory.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    How much memory is Firefox using right now?
    # Press '''CTRL+SHIFT+ESC''' to load the Task Manager window
    # Click the Processes tab at the top. (Click once near the top of the window if you don't see tab
    # Find firefox.exe, and see how many kilobytes of memory it's using.
    Showing around 80MB when Firefox first starts is normal. Right now, I have 75 tabs open and it's using 500MB - this varies a lot depending on what you have in the tabs.
    Other than high memory usage, what other problems are you experiencing? (Examples include slowness, high CPU usage, and failure to load certain sites)
    Many of these issues, including high memory usage, can be caused by misbehaving add-ons. To see if this is the case, try the steps at [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]. Outdated plugins are another cause of this issue - you can check for this at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck

  • Firefox 12 STILL consumes too much memory and periodically stalls

    1. This has gone on actually since at least Firefox 8 for many of us. With Windows 7 32 or 64bit, AND we are told OTHER OS's as well, Firefox 12 IS consuming too much memory!
    When FF 12 memory consumption "hits" 800MB on a 8 GB machine, and continues to slowly climb, FF 12 has code or other problems.
    2. ALSO, Firefox 12 under many circumstances, is slowing to a crawl, especially in opening windows and tabs.
    NOTHING we do, inspect with memory tools, etc. seems to point to any "culprits" or guide the way to researching and potentially solving these problems...and they ARE problems within Firefox 12, and likely earlier versions.
    TIME TO CLEAR THE AIR?
    These are problems being seen by others, with or without any (totally blanked out/disabled) Add-On's and even most Plug-In's being disabled or removed, both for testing the problems sen in FF 12.
    There IS a problem, or more than one, here, and it's not isolated or "just refer to this checklist" solvable.
    There's problems, perhaps memory leaks and other agenda IN THE CODE.
    We users need to stop being poo-poo'ed and "pampered" by needless communications that do nothing to truly address the problems.

    I encountered this after the memory leak was mentioned as pat of a slowdown issue with an add-on that has been in use as long as I've been using Firefox (All-in one sidebar -AIOS). After a relatively short length of time under both Firefox 11 and 12 it starts to slow down. Sub menus take more than a second to show up when the parent menu is clicked, links take more than a second to activate, pages don't load as quickly. (I have a 30Mbps downstream internet connection that I test regularly, and consistently shows between 25 and 30MBps speeds from multiple sites throughout the US. It's NOT my download speed.)
    In looking for explanations I saw at least one mention of a memory Leak.
    So I decided to test this for myself. I first removed AIOS, then re-started Firefox and just left it running. I did nothing except minimize and restore it a few times. About an hour later the memory used by FF had gone from a reasonable 42K or so, to over 200K.
    I tested again after uninstalling ALL my add-ons and plug ins. The same thing happened again.
    This is NOT simply high memory use. Which I interpret as a particular tasks or process using more memory than it maybe should.
    This is quite clearly a memory leak. Nothing was being executed, nothing was running with Firefox, and no pages were loaded during this time. But he use memory just steadily grew.
    This is clearly a new issues since I did NOT have this problem when I was using Firefox 8. If I can find an install of that I'm going back to it.
    If not I'll settle for the ESR mentioned here. If nothing else it seems to have a slower leak.
    I never did like the new version number / rapid release schedule. Mostly because growing version numbers at that rate made no real sense to me as a developer myself. But also because speed of release for new features should not be the target but quality. I think we can see that this has clearly fallen by the wayside.
    I only wish I thought there was a viable alternative.

  • Oracle Consuming too much memory.

    Hi All,
    We are having Oracle with only single instance running on the machine which has 8GB RAM. And we just have only Oracle running on this machine.
    OS - RHEL4
    Oracle : 10.2.0.1
    Out of this 8GB RAM 7.5GB has been utilized.. Can somebody please help me to find out which processes are using this much memory..
    PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET = 512MB
    SGA_TARGET = 2G
    SGA_MAX_SIZE = 2G
    Since we have allocated only 2GB as our SGA still oracle is utilizing upto 7.5GB memory.. what might be the reason behind this.

  • Jack and oss2jack consume too much memory

    This is my free output when I load jack and oss2jack at startup:
    total used free shared buffers cached
    Mem: 250148 244720 5428 0 5160 67224
    -/+ buffers/cache: 172336 77812
    Swap: 2449860 66048 2383812
    A check in top reveals that jack and oss2jack are the main culprits.
    Because of this, I cannot load hydrogen with the ns_kit7free samples (which is 200MB worth of .wav files). It terminates (probably due to trying to access too much memory) when I attempt to switch the drumkit to ns_kit7free. I have managed to load it before, when I was just using ALSA directly. Is there any way to reduce the memory consumption of jack and oss2jack?
    I have increased my swap space to > 2GB (as seen in the free output) but it doesn't help.

    jonathantan86 wrote:From top's output jack took up 2/3rd of the memory used. About adding more memory, well...it's a laptop so it's difficult to add memory.
    Well, if this can't be solved and you don't have to use ALSA, try OSS/Commercial (wiki); it has a virtual mixer in kernel-space and supports up to 32 sound output streams

  • ESSSVR consuming too much memory

    I was concerned about the memory consumption of the ESSSVR.exe process and I think there might be a problem with it.
    I have two instances available to me with the exact OS / Hardware / Environment configuration and the exact same configuration when it comes to Hyperion. I have deployed only one Planning application on both environments.
    When I did a fresh start of the services, one environment ESSSVR.exe process was taking up about 235,212K of memory. However on the other environment it is taking up 1,538,476K. This is a HUGE difference and I am unable to determine why.
    Can anyone help me identify the source of this huge memory consumption?
    Thanks in advance

    Anyway, checking the index cache on each of the databases on both environments may be beneficial.

  • Webview control consumes too much memory in WP 8.1 Runtime

    I am developing a Windows Phone 8.1 Store app (C#/XAML) and I use a Webview control on one of the app pages. Everything was OK until my app started to close with no exceptions. I suspected memory issues and was actually right. I've made some profiling
    and became certain the problem was with the Webview control. When I navigate to some web page, the (unmanaged) memory consumption grows rapidly, and in some further navigations it exceeds the memory limits (180 MB for low-memory devices) and the app terminates.
    Manual garbage collector calls do not help even when the page that hosts Webview control is closed. I am stuck now and have no idea how I can deal with this problem.

    OK. I've created a very simple demo for you. You can grab it here
    https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=A2B175448055B3F3!6839&authkey=!AFD34k9bZwDaelE&ithint=file%2czip
    Navigate to some pages while profiling and you will see how the memory consumption grows. The memory isn't cleared even after WebBrowserPage is closed. For a low-memory device it's enough to navigate to 2-3 such web pages to get the app terminated.
    Hi Max,
    Yes, I can reproduce this issue on my side:
    In my experience, this should be related to WebView memory cache, unfortunately, currently there is no way to dispose this programmatically.
    A possible workaround would be adding WebView control dynamically and removing it when navigate away from this page:
    void HardwareButtons_BackPressed(object sender, BackPressedEventArgs e)
    e.Handled = true;
    var frame = Window.Current.Content as Frame;
    if (frame != null && frame.CanGoBack)
    grid1.Children.Clear();
    GC.Collect();
    frame.GoBack();
    protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
    if (e.Parameter != null && e.Parameter is string)
    GC.Collect();
    WebView webView = new WebView();
    grid1.Children.Add(webView);
    webView.Navigate(new Uri((string)e.Parameter));
    Diagnostics:
    Thank you for your response and solution. Unfortunately it doesn't fully help, because the memory isn't fully cleaned by GC and in some time of actively using a Webview it is leaking anyway. But garbage collecting makes sense as it helps the in-use memory
    not to grow so fast.
    So I think this is a best solution we have so far. I wish a Webview would be better in further versions of Windows Phone.

  • Why does my mac have 100 gb of "back up" and 90 gb of "other" memory used up when I have hardly anything on it. Is there any way to identify what those things are that is consuming so much memory?

    I have 25 gb of music. 20 gb of movies. 5 gb of pictures. 10 gb of apps. 102 gb of "back up. and 85 gb of "other. which leaves less than 70 gb open on my harddrive.. Why? What is that almost 200 gb of memory? How Do i pinpoint it? I use time machine and an external harddrive to back up my files so what is that? any answers or ideas?

    Do not worry about the backups.  They will be deleted automatically after a week, or if your HD gets too full.  See #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    The "other" stuff is just that -- all sorts of things that don't fall into the few categories listed.  The operating system, system work files, plus lots of your stuff like documents, mail, etc.  See Lion's Storage Display

  • Import consuming so much memory, resulting in system hang

    I am having a dump file of around 13GB in size. When I try to import it, then import starts normally & after sometime the memory consumption of imp.exe increased dramatically. After import of few tables the import fails with following error:
    kgefec: fatal error 0
    kgepop: no error frame to pop to for error 22275
    Please note, the import always fails during importing a big (more then 1 GB) table(s) having CLOB columns which contains XML's.
    I am having 8 GB RAM. When import utility tries to import such big table, the memory consumption of imp.exe increased to 6.8 GB. After that system shows "system running low on memory" & asks to close some application i.e. windows explorer, SQL developer. Sytem hangs for for few minutes & then import fails with error specified above.

  • Firefox uses too much memory

    I've been using Firefox as the default browser on my systems (both Windows and Linux and in 32 or 64 editions) and for some reason Firefox consumes too much memory. Now trust me. I have a very fast machine and so I get very frustrated with this issue as it seems to be a Firefox only issue. Its true that I might have up to 40 tabs open at times but Chrome can handle it Safari can handle it and even Explorer can handle it. Sometimes Firefox's memory consumption peaks to an astonish 3GB of memory which is unheard of. My machine is so fast that I can have up to 10 programs open (Maya, Photoshop, Cinema 4d, Autodesk Suites MySql server and PHP5, MS Office) and still be able to work with them all at the same time, but Firefox crashes suddenly and that is very annoying as I've customized it to my needs adding extensions and making sure all my online baking is done using Firefox. This memory issue is far more noticeable when I'm using Windows 7 64 bits. The same amount of tabs and extensions opened on Linux have no effect on memory and I often switch to Linux just to be able to enjoy a smooth Firefox browsing experience. I've invested so much money into building an amazing machine and it takes 10 minutes of having Firefox running to crash it all completely. I've lost track of the amount of times I've lost my profile and had to rebuild all my customizations but I can stand that. What is beyond my comprehension is the fact that when I'm using Windows XP or Linux the memory used by Firefox is far lower than when I'm using Windows 7 or 8.1 .
    Can you help me out? I really love Firefox and would like to keep using it as my default browser but can't afford losing my profile info every time Firefox crashes or having Windows Explorer crashing and losing all the work I'm doing on other software programs.
    Much appreciated;
    Sam

    Are there any tabs reopened from the previous session when this happens?
    Do you keep a large history?
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
    You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
    Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Why is ArchLinux consuming so much RAM?

    I really don't know where to start with this thread.  Hoping a few of you veterans will be able to help pinpoint my memory consumption by ArchLinux.   I have read lots of places where ArchLinux runs with a very small memory footprint, but that hasn't been my experience, which is tragic becuase I really like ArchLinux the most of all the distros I've tried.
    I don't have anything that usual installed, I don't think.  If I go from a fresh boot up, my experience is that I end up using about 400MB out of the 768 MB total physical memory (eventually my system will slow to a crawl with about 95% of RAM used).  And I'm not really doing much.  A little Audacious, a little file mgmt with Thunar, a little web browsing...that's it really.  I expected some rogue application to be to blame but that doesn't seem to be the case.   It appears to be XFCE stuff mostly (and Thunar).  Here's what my system shows right now if I do

    I'm astounded that xfce-related items would consume so much memory.  Also, Tomboy and Firefox really eat up memory in a hurry.  Thunar, too.  Is this normal?   Doesn't seem like it should be... 
    Oh, fyi, the daemons loaded at startup are: 
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond alsa hplip cups hal)
    Any help would be appreciated here.  I can send over any specifics about my system or outputs of a command as needed for remote troubleshooting.  Thanks!

    If it never exceeds 95% , I don't see why there should be any slow downs.
    Does it swap ? Thats much more important to check than the memory usage (even if its obviously linked).
    If a lot of swap is used, then it's very bad indeed, and you're left with the two obvious choices :
    1) get more memory
    2) use less memory hungry apps
    Recently, I set up Ubuntu (which is more bloated than Arch, with a ton of unneeded crap by default) on a box with 256 MB.
    Just booting into an empty gnome session filled up all ram. Then trying to start OpenOffice made the system swap badly,
    and it was very slow.
    I upgraded it to 512 mb, and everything is fine now.
    So I find it strange that 768 mb can't handle arch + xfce.

  • AIR iOS app - how much memory consumption is too much?

    Hi All,
    I have a Flex-based AIR app that runs fine on Android.
    On iOS (iPhone 4) it freezes after it's been running for a while, and I suspect that the problem is that the app is consuming too much memory.
    I'm looking at System.totalMemoryNumber, and it is reporting that the app is using between 17 and 23 MB right before it freezes.
    Is this a lot for an iOS app?
    Is there a better way for me to examine/research/diagnose this? I've done a lot of searching and it doesn't appear that AIR apps get any warning from iOS that memory is getting low...
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi All,
    I'm answering at least part of my own question...
    I created a test app that added 10K characters to a string on each enterFrame, then ran it until it crashed. It seems to consistently get up to around 175 MB (as reported by System.totalMemoryNumber) before it crashes.
    This happened both with and without multiple other apps running in the background.
    As mentioned above, this is on an iPhone 4.
    So it appears that my current problem isn't caused by excessive memory consumption.

  • How can I receive calendar notification instead of .ics mail attachmentes? Have already delete my apple id as alternate email on another id. Thanks very much

    Well, I´m unable to receive calendar notifications after my father bought a new iphone and I put my appleid email as alternative email in his account just to revover his password in case of. I just receive emails with .ics attached.
    I have tried anything, as deleting the alternate email adress on my father´s appleid, and still recieve the .ics attachments and no notifications. Furthermore, if I don´t download the .ics it won´t appear on my calendar.
    Thank you very much in advance

    You may need to enable in-app notifications in you iCloud calendar preferences on icloud.com.  See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mma527d46.
