Dynamic sga
Hi All,
I enabled 10g dynamic SGA by just keeping sga_target and sga_max_size...
now when i see the dbcache_size...it doesn't show any value ..
How do i know the amount of db_cache_cache, shared_pool size which is being used...
Thanks in advance ...
when u set sga_target its automatically sizes
dbbc,shared_pool and other memory areas, this all areJust a gentle clarification - ASMM sizes SOME memory areas in the SGA.
1) Only sizes the basic 5 (shared pool, Java pool, large pool, buffer cache, Streams pool)
2) Of those, it only sizes those the DBA has set to 0
There are a bunch that still need the DBA's watchful eye. http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/memory.htm#sthref1258

(9I) DYNAMIC SGA : SGA_MAX_SIZE, DB_CACHE_SIZE, DB_KEEP_CACHE_SIZE
제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2005-01-05
(9I) DYNAMIC SGA : SGA_MAX_SIZE, DB_CACHE_SIZE, DB_KEEP_CACHE_SIZE
==================================================================
PURPOSE
Oracle 9i의 새 기능인 동적으로 SGA 파라미터들을 변경하는 방법에
대하여 알아보기로 한다.
Explanation
Oracle 8i까지는 Buffer Cache, Shared Pool, Large Pool 등과 같은 SGA
파라미터들에 대해 그 크기를 동적으로, db가 운영 중인 상태에서는 변경할
수가 없었다.
즉, 이러한 파라미터들을 변경하려면 db를 shutdown하고 initSID.ora 화일에
서 그 크기를 다시 설정하고, 이 파라미터를 이용해서 db 인스턴스를 restart
해야만 했었다.
Oracle 9i에서는 DBA가 ALTER SYSTEM 명령을 이용해서 SGA 파라미터의 크기
를 동적으로 변경할 수 있게 되었다. 이 특정을 'Dynamic SGA'라고 부른다.
SGA 전체의 최대 크기(SGA_MAX_SIZE)를 정의하고 그 한도 내에서 파라미터의
크기를 변경할 수 있는 것이다. 데이타베이스를 shutdown/startup 없이 작업
이 가능하기 때문에 'Planned Downtime'을 줄이는 한 방법으로도 이해할 수
있다.
이 글에서는 SGA에 할당할 수 있는 최소 단위인 'Granule'의 개념을 살펴보
고, 이 granule이 어떠한 방법에 의해 동적으로 할당되는지에 대해 알아보고
자 한다.
또한 Buffer Cache 파라미터 중 새로운 것과 이전 버전에 비해 달라진 내용
을 소개하기로 한다.
1. Granule
Granule은 가상 메모리 상의 연속된 공간으로, dynamic SGA 모델에서 할당할
수 있는 최소 단위이다. 이 granule의 크기는 SGA 전체의 추정값
(SGA_MAX_SIZE)에 따라 다음과 같이 구분된다.
4MB if estimated SGA size is < 128M
16MB otherwise
SGA의 Buffer Cache, Shared Pool, Large Pool 등의 파라미터는 이 granule
단위로 늘어나거나 줄어들 수 있다. (현재 dynamic SGA를 사용할 수 있는
SGA 관련 파라미터는 Buffer Cache, Shared Pool, Large Pool 세 가지이다.)
2. Dynamic SGA(DB_CACHE_SIZE, SHARED_POOL_SIZE)
DBA는 ALTER SYSTEM 명령을 통해 initSID.ora 화일에 정의된 SGA 관련 파라미
터 값을 동적으로 변경할 수 있다. SGA 파라미터의 크기를 늘려주기 위해서
는 필요한 만큼의 free granule이 존재해야만 하며, 현재 사용하고 있는 SGA
의 크기가 SGA_MAX_SIZE보다 작아야 한다. Free granule이 없다고 해서 다른
파라미터로부터 granule을 free시켜서 그 granule을 이용할 수 있는 것은 아
니다.
반드시 DBA가 명시적으로 free/allocate해야 한다.
다음의 예를 살펴보자. 설명을 단순화하기 위해 이 경우는 SGA가 Buffer
Cache와 Shared Pool로만 구성되었다고만 하자.
예) initSID.ora
SGA_MAX_SIZE = 128M
DB_CACHE_SIZE = 96M
SHARED_POOL_SIZE = 32M
Note : DB_CACHE_SIZE는 Oracle 9i에 새롭게 도입된 파라미터이다.
위와 같은 상태일 때 동적으로 SHARED_POOL_SIZE를 64M로 늘리면 에러가 발생
한다.
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET SHARED_POOL_SIZE=64M;
(insufficient memory error message)
이 에러는 SHARED_POOL_SIZE를 늘림으로써 전체 SGA의 크기가 SGA_MAX_SIZE
보다 커지기 때문에 발생한다. (96M + 64M > 128M)
이를 해결하기 위해서는 DB_CACHE_SIZE를 줄인 후, SHARED_POOL_SIZE를 늘린다.
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_CACHE_SIZE=64M;
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET SHARED_POOL_SIZE=64M;
Note : DB_CACHE_SIZE가 shrink되는 동안에
ALTER SYSTEM SET SHARED_POOL_SIZE=64M;
를 하면 insufficient error가 발생할 수도 있다.
이 경우는 DB_CACHE_SIZE가 shrink된 후 다시 수행하면 정상적으로
수행이 된다.
Note : 위 예제의 경우 estimated SGA 크기가 128M 이상이므로, granule의
단위는 16M이다. 따라서 SGA 파라미터의 크기를 16M의 정수배로 했다.
16M의 정수배가 아닌 경우는 지정한 값보다 큰 값에 대해 16M의
정수배 중 가장 가까운 값을 택하게 된다.
즉, 아래 두 문장의 결과는 똑같다.
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET SHARED_POOL_SIZE=64M;
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET SHARED_POOL_SIZE=49M;
Note : LARGE_POOL_SIZE 와 JAVA_POOL_SIZE 파라미터는 동적으로 변경하는
것이 불가능하다.
1) Dynamic Shared Pool
인스턴스 start 후, Shared Pool의 크기는 다음과 같은 명령에 의해 동적으
로 변경(grow or shrink)될 수 있다.
ALTER SYSTEM SET SHARED_POOL_SIZE=64M;
다음과 같은 제약 사항이 있다.
- 실제 할당되는 크기는 16M의 정수배가 된다.
- 전체 SGA의 크기는 SGA_MAX_SIZE를 초과할 수는 없다.
2) Dynamic Buffer Cache
인스턴스 start 후, Buffer Cache의 크기는 다음과 같은 명령에 의해 동적으
로 변경(grow or shrink)될 수 있다.
ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_CACHE_SIZE=96M;
다음과 같은 제약 사항이 있다.
- 실제 할당되는 크기는 16M의 정수배가 된다.
- 전체 SGA의 크기는 SGA_MAX_SIZE를 초과할 수는 없다.
- DB_CACHE_SIZE는 0이 될 수 없다.
3. Buffer Cache 파라미터의 변경된 내용
여기서는 Buffer Cache 파라미터와 관련하여 Oracle 9i에 의미가 없어진 파라
미터와 새롭게 추가된 파라미터, 그리고 dynamic SGA 중 Buffer Cache와 관련
이 있는 부분에 대해 기술하고자 한다.
1) Deprecated Buffer Cache Parameters
다음의 세 가지 파라미터는 backward compatibility를 위해 존재하는 것으
로, 차후 의미가 없어진다.
- DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS
- BUFFER_POOL_KEEP
- BUFFER_POOL_RECYCLE
위의 파라미터들이 정의되어 있으면 이 값들을 사용하게 될 것이다. 하지만,
다음에 나올 새로운 파라미터들을 사용하는 것이 좋으며, 만일 위 파라미터
(DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS, BUFFER_POOL_KEEP, BUFFER_POOL_RECYCLE) 값들을 사용
한다면 이 글에서 설명한 dynamic SGA 특징을 사용할 수는 없다. 또한
initSID.ora 화일에 위 파라미터들과 새로운 파라미터를 동시에 기술한다면
에러가 발생한다.
2) New Buffer Cache Sizing Parameters
다음의 세 파라미터가 추가되었다. 이 파라미터들은 primary block size에
대한 buffer cache 정보를 다루고 있다.
- DB_CACHE_SIZE
- DB_KEEP_CACHE_SIZE
- DB_RECYCLE_CACHE_SIZE
DB_CACHE_SIZE 파라미터에 지정된 값은 primary block size에 대한 default
Buffer Pool의 크기를 의미한다. 또한 이전 버전과 마찬가지로 KEEP과
RECYCLE buffer pool을 둘 수 있는데, 이는 DB_KEEP_CACHE_SIZE,
DB_RECYCLE_CACHE_SIZE 라는 파라미터를 이용한다.
이전 버전과 다른 점은 이전 버전의 경우 각각의 파라미터
(DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS, BUFFER_POOL_KEEP,BUFFER_POOL_RECYCLE)에 정의된 값들
이 buffer 갯수(즉, 실제 메모리 크기를 구하려면 db_block_size를 곱했어야
했다. )였는데 반해 이제는 구체적인 메모리 크기이다.
또한 이전에는 DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS가 BUFFER_POOL_KEEP, BUFFER_POOL_RECYCLE
의 값을 포함하고 있었지만, 이제는 DB_CACHE_SIZE가 DB_KEEP_CACHE_SIZE,
DB_RECYCLE_CACHE_SIZE를 포함하고 있지 않다.
즉, 각각의 파라미터들은 독립적이다.
Note : Oracle 9i부터는 multiple block size(2K, 4K, 8K, 16K, 32K)를 지원한다.
위에서 언급한 primary block size는 DB_BLOCK_SIZE에 의해 정해진 block
size를 의미한다. (SYSTEM tablespace는 이 block size를 이용한다.)
3) Dynamic Buffer Cache Size Parameters
바로 위에서 언급한 세 파라미터는 아래와 같이 ALTER SYSTEM 명령에 의해
동적으로 변경 가능하다.
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_CACHE_SIZE=96M;
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_KEEP_CACHE_SIZE=16M;
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_RECYCLE_CACHE_SIZE=16M;
Example

Startup options and dynamic SGA
Pls, let me know in detail, is it possible to change the values in the parameter file (like of database buffer cache) while the instance is running dynamically without shutting down the instance and what all memory structure can be changed and what all cannot be changed dynamically.
Also, I want to know different database startup options like nomount, mount, open, restrict, force, recoverer. what are the uses of each option and for what purpose we start the database in these optionsYou can dynamically change the size of the following memory segments limited to the size specified by SGA_TARGET_SIZE parameter.
shared_pool_size
large_pool_size
java_pool_size
db_cache_size
For various startup options, you may like to refer to http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/start.htm#sthref523.

Hi Forum,
when is SGA dynamic ? One SAP note says that the use of parameter db_cache_size make SGA dynamically sizing its buffers. Others say that parameter sga_target
<> 0 decides on dynamic or not. If db_cache_size is set but sga_target is 0, what does this mean ?
Kind regards
hakortDB_CACHE_SIZE itself is a dynamic parameter. Even if you mention SGA_TARGET as 0, its still can be changed dynamically with alter system command. The dynamic word has been used at several places in oracle docs. By making db_cache_size dynamic, any changes done to it are immediately effected. But this doesn't mean that the entire SGA has become dynamic.
With dynamic sga(started from 10g onwards), 5 parameters, which are mentioned by Laura are made dynamic and are collectively set by the SGA_TARGET parameter. This leaves the entire SGA over Oracle's discretion that how to allocate/deallocate memory among these parameters. This setting works only when the SGA_TAGET is set to some non-zero value. Once set to 0, Oracle reverts back to the manual SGA where the parameters can be changed by you dynamically but the entire SGA is still controlled by you. By entire SGA I mean the 5 parameters and the other non-dynamic parameters like Log_buffer and so on.

# symptom: ORA-00381: cannot use both new and old parameters for buffer cache size specification
# cause: Both db_block_buffers and db_cache_size parameters are defined in the init.ora (instance parameter file). The db_block_buffers parameter has been deprecated and has been maintained only for backward compatibility. The db_cache_size parameter is one of the size parameters which defines the size of the cache for buffers. These parameters cannot be combined. Setting this along with the Dynamic SGA parameters errors out.
>
For sga_target refer to [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams193.htm#REFRN10256]
which quotes
>
SGA_TARGET specifies the total size of all SGA components. If SGA_TARGET is specified, then the following memory pools are automatically sized:
*Buffer cache (DB_CACHE_SIZE)
* Shared pool (SHARED_POOL_SIZE)
* Large pool (LARGE_POOL_SIZE)
* Java pool (JAVA_POOL_SIZE)
* Streams pool (STREAMS_POOL_SIZE)
If these automatically tuned memory pools are set to non-zero values, then those values are used as minimum levels by Automatic Shared Memory Management. You would set minimum values if an application component needs a minimum amount of memory to function properly.
>
So, the what ever the value are set for the parameter will act as minimum value when sga_target is set.

K R SinghHi Karmesh,
As a role of thumb, Oracle does not support any extended shared memory segments on IBM AIX. Please take a look OSS notes #105429, 123366.
Additionally, I would like to suggest that you use dynamic SGA that has been mentioned in OSS note #105429.
What kind of memory, you are talking about, in your last question? Oracle memory tuning or SAP memory tuning?

Edited by: user10484253 on May 13, 2011 8:41 AMI would suggest you to check v$sgastat to find out the exact SGA memory you are using currently instead of using "SHOW SGA" when when you set SGA_MAX_SIZE & SGA_TARGET initialization parameters.
Below is a sample output from one of my test dbs. As you can see below my SGA size is only 1GB.
SHOW SGA shows 2GB thats because I have set SGA_MAX_SIZE to 2gb ( which only means that I can grow my sga up till 2 gig , it may not be my current sga size).
you can try increasing or decreasing SGA_TARGET and check memory usage on OS level to see the difference.

Set SGA maximum size larget than it's component
Dear all,
I want to activate the DISM in Oracle 10g on Solaris container, therefore I need to set the parameter sga_max_size larger than it's component.
From my understanding, below are the sga components parameter and the current value on my system::
SHARED_POOL_SIZE (560M)
LARGE_POOL_SIZE (0)
JAVA_POOL_SIZE (32M)
DB_CACHE_SIZE (560M)
STREAMS_POOL_SIZE (0)
The thing is, my sga max size parameter (1168M) is already larger than above parameters.
Is there another sga component I've missed ? Plz advice. Thanks.Hi,
SGA: The size is determined indirectly from the size of the contained memory areas.
1) Buffer pool: DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS (unit: blocks) or DB_CACHE_SIZE when you use the dynamic SGA
2) Shared pool: SHARED_POOL_SIZE
3) Java pool: JAVA_POOL_SIZE
4) Large pool: LARGE_POOL_SIZE
5) Streams pool (Oracle 10g or later): STREAMS_POOL_SIZE
6) Redo buffer: LOG_BUFFER
In addition, in the context of the dynamic SGA , you can define parameter
SGA_MAX_SIZE, which sets an upper limit for the total size of the SGA. In
general, you can only increase the size of parameters, such as DB_CACHE_SIZE
or SHARED_POOL_SIZE, up to the size defined by SGA_MAX_SIZE.
Thanks

We use Oracle 11gr2 on win2008R2.
Our member said that he set sga max size by
alter system set sga_max_size scope=spfile; max size to 6GB.
And he restared that OS and DB instance , then
show parameters sga_max_size was 7.6GB.
we use dynamic SGA and automatic memory management.
Is it natural things ? If so, I would like to explaint about to our customer.
Why the show parameters sga_max_size was 7.6GB ?DUPLICATE POST. please continue with our original post. Please mark this question answered and check the following link:
sga max size is different -
Can we resize SGA after setting SGA_MAX_SIZE to some number.
what parameters will be considered whule allocating this size.I hope you are talking about dynamic SGA feature of 9i. Following link would help you in this regards.

Oracle 9i Administration, Question 1 of 12
Q What facility does Oracle provide to detect chained and migrated rows after the proper tables have been created?
The RDBMS cannot detect this. It must use regular export and import with compress=y to remove chained and migrated rows as part of the regular database.
The UTLCHAIN utility
The DBMS_REPAIR package
The ANALYZE command with the LIST CHAINED ROWS option
The DBMS_MIG_CHAIN built-in package
Q While doing an export, the following is encountered:
ORA-1628 ... max # extents ... reached for rollback segment ..
Referring to the scenario above, what do you do differently so that the export is resumed even after getting the space allocation error?
Use the RESUMABLE=Y option for the export.
Run the export with the AUTO_ROLLBACK_EXTEND=Y option.
Increase the rollback segment extents before running the export.
Use THE RESUME=Y option for the export.
Monitor the rollback segment usage while the export is running and increase it if it appears to be running out of space.
Q
The DBCA (Database Configuration Assistant) prompts the installer to enter the password for which default users?
SYS and SYSTEM
OSDBA and INTERNAL
SYSOPER and INTERNAL
SYS and INTERNAL
SYSTEM and SYSDBA

Q CREATE DATABASE abc
MAXLOGFILES 5
MAXLOGMEMBERS 5
MAXDATAFILES 20
MAXLOGHISTORY 100
Referring to the code segment above, how do you change the MAX parameters shown?
They can be changed using an ALTER SYSTEM command, but the database must be in the NOMOUNT state.
The MAX parameters cannot be changed without exporting the entire database, re-creating it, and importing.
They can be changed using an ALTER SYSTEM command while the database is open.
They can be changed in the init.ora file, but the database must be restarted for the values to take effect.
They cannot be changed unless you re-create your control file
Q You need to change the archivelog mode of an Oracle database.
Referring to the scenario above, what steps do you take before actually changing the archivelog mode?
Execute the archive log list command
Start up the instance and mount the database but do not open it.
Start up the instance and mount and open the database in restricted mode.
Kill all user sessions to ensure that there is no database activity that might trigger redolog activity.
Take all tablespaces offline
Q You are experiencing performance problems due to network traffic. One way to tune this is by setting the SDU size.
Referring to the scenario above, why do you change the SDU size?

To check weather JAVAVM being used or not?
Hi,
We are in the process of cleaning up unnecessary components. As a part of this, first of all we are checking weather JAVAVM is being used or not? How to confirm weather JAVAVM is being used or not?
I gone through Database Feature Usage but could not find any entry related to JAVAVM, for rest of the components i was able to. Any hints on this.

DBA.We are in the process of cleaning up unnecessary components. As a part of this, first of all we are checking weather JAVAVM is being used or not? How to confirm weather JAVAVM is being used or not?
Yes - if you have an Oracle database the JVM is being used.
There is NOTHING to 'clean up' as far as the internal JVM that is part of Oracle.
You can NOT modify it or upgrade it. And if you remove it Oracle will also remove your database.
See the Database Installation Guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32002/remove_oracle_sw.htm#CCHBABDE
In the Inventory screen, select the Oracle home and the products that you want to remove, then click Remove.
Note:
If you choose to remove Oracle JVM, Oracle Universal Installer removes all installed products that depend on Oracle JVM, including Oracle Database 11g. -
How to uninstall Oracle 11g Database Options?
I've come across a problem. A company that developed an application, installed Oracle 11g EE.
I guess they would use all default options. Some of them are licensed separately, and are not used. So I need to uninstall them.
For example, I see that it is installed "Advanced Compression". I tried to uninstall it from the Universal Installer, but there isn't an option.Good news for my company.
There has never been used "Advanced Compression" and for everything else we are licensed.

Hi,
I have a question about the parameter sga-max-size.
When starting the instance, oracle9i r2 on linux redhat, it seems that the total sga comes near to that sga-max-size parameter. As far as I understand is this used for dynamic sga, so you can increase db_cache_size etc on the fly. But does it also mean that the size of the SGA is already completely in the memory of the system? How can you see on Linux Redhat 9 how much memory Oracle is using, if it is really using the completely SGA (for example 1GB)?
thanks
greetsit seems that the total sga comes near to that sga-max-size parameter
r.- Explanation about this point: if the SGA components exceed the SGA_MAX_SIZE value the instance is not going to start.
As far as I understand is this used for dynamic sga, so you can increase db_cache_size etc on the fly
r.- It is true
But does it also mean that the size of the SGA is already completely in the memory of the system?
r.- Part of them. While the SGA is higher the memory in your machine is more used. But it does not mean that if you have 1GB in SGA it means that 1GB it is need of RAM. Really as far as I know Oracle software does not inform us in what proportion it uses the memory and so on. Oracle software and documentation learn us how the SGA must be handle.
How can you see on Linux Redhat 9 how much memory Oracle is using
r.- You have several ways to find out those values.
1.- command : "top"
2.- Create a script using "ps" command

Oracle Performance tunning genral question
Hi,
Below is the list of Areas of Oracle db for which tunning activities are done. You are invited to comment to it weather this is complete list or need some addition or deletion. As I'm learning PT for Oracle now a days, therefore I want to expand my knowledge by sharing what I'm learning and what I need to learn.
So comment with Open hearts on it. Espically from experts and Gurus.
Here is the List
1-Planning for Performance, include Storage consideration( Weather it is SAN, NAS, DAS), Network planning and host OS planning with proper configuration for running Oracle.
2-Database desining (Not under-Normalized and not Over-Normalized with proper usage of Indexes, views and Stored Procedures)
3- Instance tunning (Memory structure + B.g Processes)
4- Session tunning.
5- Segment Space tunning.
6- SQL tunning.
This is what uptill what I've learned. If it needs addition kindly tell me what are these. Please also provide me links(good and precise one) for PT tutorials on web.Also note that I'm discussing this w.r.t Single instance non-rac db.
Looking for Good sugessions
Regards,
AbbasiHello,
