Sga_max_size and sga_target values

Question

I have an 11g database on windows with 4GB RAM, I have set the MEMORY_MAX_TARGET and MEMORY_TARGET, what should I do with the pre-existing sga_max_size and sga_target values

Answer 1

memory_target = sga_target + max(pga_aggregate_target, maximum PGA allocated)
MEMORY_MAX_TARGET = sum of the SGA and instance PGA sizes.
For Automatic memory management
set
ALTER SYSTEM SET SGA_TARGET = 0;
ALTER SYSTEM SET PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET = 0;
Note:
In a text initialization parameter file, if you omit the line for MEMORY_MAX_TARGET and include a value for MEMORY_TARGET, the database automatically sets MEMORY_MAX_TARGET to the value of MEMORY_TARGET. If you omit the line for MEMORY_TARGET and include a value for MEMORY_MAX_TARGET, the MEMORY_TARGET parameter defaults to zero. After startup, you can then dynamically change MEMORY_TARGET to a nonzero value, provided that it does not exceed the value of MEMORY_MAX_TARGET.
Note:
The preceding steps instruct you to set SGA_TARGET and PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET to zero so that the sizes of the SGA and instance PGA are tuned up and down as required, without restrictions. You can omit the statements that set these parameter values to zero and leave either or both of the values as positive numbers. In this case, the values act as minimum values for the sizes of the SGA or instance PGA.
