How to release memory consumed by oracle.exe

662641May 11 2009 — edited Feb 16 2012
Hi,

I am using Oracle 10g on windows. I am facing the following memory issue.
When i run my client application it connects to the database and start doing DML operation and my oracle service gradually starts consuming memory (i saw from task manager). It goes on consuming the memory till i stop my client application.

Even after I end the client application and disconnect the database the memory shown against oracle process is same. It does not frees the memory.
ie Before connecting memory against oracle service in task manager is 100 MB
After starting the client application it increases gradually.
when I stop the client application the memory is say 400MB.

After disconnecting also the memory remains 400 is dosent reduce.

Please tell me why the memory does not come down.

Thank You,
Niranjan.
