How to find memory used by page tables

Is there a way to find out how much memory is currently being used by page tables? I am new to Solaris ;-)
I want to quantify the advantages of Intimate Shared Memory (in the context of a large Oracle database with lots of concurrent users). I want to contrast this against Linux which does not have a method of allowing different processes to share page tables that map onto shared memory. Thus, with a large number of concurrent connections where each connection creates a new process that maps onto the Oracle shared memory, a significant amount of memory can be consumed just by the page table entries.

Yes, a very recent acquisition :-) ......I'm busy working my way through it, just taught myself about mdb today but I still can't figure how to get the amount of memory being used by page tables only. The dcmd ::memstat can give me the total amount of memory being used by the kernel but I would like some more detail than that.
On Linux you can simply look at /proc/meminfo and it contains a wealth of information. I was hoping Solaris would be similar....but isn't that always the case when doing something new? We hope it's like what we already know :-) Below is an example from Linux showing that 1860 kB have been to store page table entries.
[root@makalu ~]# cat /proc/meminfo | grep PageTables
PageTables: 1860 kB
[root@makalu ~]#

How to find modules using a specific table in Designer 10g?

Hi, we are in a conversion traject from Designer 6.0 to Designer 10g with patchset 10.1.2.5.
Apart from a conversion problem for which we got a workaround (see bug number 8453702) it looks ok now.
But with functional testing I found something strange:
- in Des10g, when you look at the usages of a table, you do not see the "Used in Module Components" part anymore. That is pretty annoying. Now I found a way to show something with aid of the matrix diagrammer, but i'm not very happy with it.
My questions:
- How come this has changed? and
- is there another way to quickly view these usages, or are we stuck with this?
Regards, Paul.

Hello
Go to the repository object navigator. Go to the table definitions --> usages --> Used in sql query sets

How to find latest entry in the table according to time

how to find latest entry in the table according to the time
is there any function module to do so
\[removed by moderator\]
Regards
Shashi
Edited by: Jan Stallkamp on Aug 25, 2008 4:39 PM

Hi,
If you want to read the entry from an internal table,
sort the internal table in the descending order by the time and
delete adjacent duplicates by comparing the fields other than time and the internal table will have the latest record.
Suggestion: instead of only time try to have one more field called date with the time combination

Hi Solomon,
so I have to identify partition & index are created or not,
also I have check the status of index ( both global and local)So what's the problem? Table/index partition is an object, so you can query DBA_OBJECTS:
SELECT SUBOBJECT_NAME,
        CREATED
FROM DBA_OBJECTS
WHERE OWNER = partitioned-table-owner
    AND OBJECT_NAME = partitioned-table-name
    AND CREATED >= TRUNC(SYSDATE)
/This will give you partitions created today. So if you run this right after your job (I hope your job doen't run too close to midnight), you'll get table partition name your job created. Same logic can be applied to indexes.

How to find u0091Where used list of BSP Applicationu0092?

Hi,
In standard, one BSP application is calling another BSP application by hard coded in application.

How to find Where used list of BSP Application?
Regards,
...Naddy

Hi Naddy,
there is a way to find such hard coded things as long as they are really written as literal in the coding. So far i havn't used it on BSP but it's just a token search.
You can use the code inspector for such things (TCode SCI). You define an object list. Therefore you have to use the static list (dynamic won't work) e.g. for all objects in a package. The ugly thing is that sap has built a filter in SCI that you cannot run it on their standard objects (no comment on that). So you get always 0 objects on sap packages. But you can debug into SCI and set a break point on statement 'SELECT'. One of the selects gets the objects from repository. In this statement sap hands select options to exclude SAP objects. If you change the values you can get these objects in the list.
Then you run a search on these objects to find the string you look for.
Ok that's not very comfortable but still faster than checking dozens of objects by hand.
Best regards
Roman

Have you tried "man top" to see the documentation for the top command?
How about the following: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=show+memory+with+top+command
The 5th column (VIRT) shows the amount of RAM + swap
The 6th column (RES) shows RAM

a short and correct answer would be: you can't.
As oracle uses a fair amount of shared memory, and that shared memory is attached to most of the oracle processes, the same memory appears a number of times.
you should rephrase your question / what is it you want to achieve?
you can ask oracle how much memory is assigned to it, v$sga, v$sgastat, v$process (for PGA). moreover, you as DBA are the one who configured that.
you can look at major an minor faults per process to see what is causing the paging (if you have any).
you can also look at the /proc/pid/statm pseudofilesystem for your oracle pids.
