Changing MEMORY_TARGET: help please

628367Nov 16 2009 — edited Nov 16 2009
Hi,
I have Oracle 11g installed in a VMWare image(linux). The current setting of 1G for the memory (I read it in the init.ora, parameter memory_target=1G) is too much for my PC.
I set memory_target parameter=300M in init.ora but this does not seam to work.

Note, currently the instance cannot be started, because I reduced the Virtual Memory setting in the VMWare options,
so I cannot use: ALTER SYSTEM SET MEMORY_TARGET=300M SCOPE=SPFILE;
Is there a way to change this before starting the database?

Thanks much.
