Before running this, edit your initSID.ora file to rem change the value of shared_pool_size to a very large number (maybe rem a fourth or more of your system's available memory, depending on rem how many other instances and processes that you have running that rem are also using memory), then shutdown and startup your database rem and let it run for a representative time (like all day or when a rem large batch job is running that you want to accomodate). Use the rem estimated size as a guideline for the value for shared_pool_size, rem changing that parameter to the estimated size or the original size rem and doing another shutdown/startup to put the value into effect. rem rem Author: Stephen Rea rem Released: 10/26/98 rem select sum(a.spspv) "Packages/Views", sum(a.spssql) "SQL Statements", sum(a.spsusr) "SQL Users", round((sum(a.spspv) + sum(a.spssql) + sum(a.spsusr)) * 2.5,-6) "Estimated shared_pool_size" from (select sum(sharable_mem) spspv, 0 spssql, 0 spsusr from v$db_object_cache union all select 0, sum(sharable_mem), 0 from v$sqlarea where executions > 5 union all select 0, 0, sum(250 * users_opening) from v$sqlarea) a; !echo set space 1 timing on feedback 6 verify on echo on showmode both
