Hi..
>
# 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.
