Optimizing Oracle RAM for SGA & PGA

DBAJTRNov 17 2015 — edited Nov 18 2015

Hello,

I've been reading up on memory allocation and just want some clarification on my thinking and understanding of it. I'm running an Oracle 11.2.0.3 Database on a Windows 2008R2 physical server with 64GB RAM. From what I have read I plan to distribute memory in the following manner:

Windows OS should be given 20% so 12.8GB rounded to 13GB gives me 51GB left to play with.

PGA should be (bitmap_merge_area_size + hash_area_size + sort_area_size) * 'max number of connections'

SGA can be whats left over.

Does the memory_max_target parameter need to be set at a value that is equal to the PGA + the SGA?

Any help is great

Thankyou
