hi,
i totally confused about PGA and shared pool.is there any relation between librarcy cache and pga.
whether,when the user exeutes select,insert,update,delete these are in librarcy cache or PGA.
i read that parsing,optimzation,execution,fetching there are happening in Library cahe.
so why oracle created the runtime area in PGASo why there is a confusion? The parsing, execution, they are all happening in the SGA because what is needed is that if someone else also requires the same data, for example, the same execution plan, the same data buffers, it should all be accessible from the SGA which is going to be shared among the users. But the PGA contains the data structures which don't do this! Answer this, when you do an order by , does it mean that all the other users also start seeing teh data in the order by clause by default? The answer should be no. This sorted data is just kept in the pga of yours. Similarly, there is a bind variable which is shared among the users but two different users need to use two different values of it.Where it is best to keep those different values, in their own PGAs isn't it? Hence its the private memory of the sessions.
