 Managing Memory
Components
• Automatic Memory Management (AMM)
– Enables you to specify total memory allocated to instance
(including both SGA and PGA)
• Automatic Shared Memory Management (ASMM):
– Enables you to specify total SGA memory through one
initialization parameter
– Enables the Oracle server to manage the amount of memory
allocated to the shared pool, Java pool, buffer cache,
streams pool, and large pool
• Manually setting shared memory management:
– Sizes the components through multiple individual initialization
parameters
– Uses the appropriate Memory Advisor to make
recommendations
