Oracle Database 10.2.0.5 :: ora_dbw0 consumes 23% of memory

3309509Oct 24 2018 — edited Oct 24 2018

Hello,

I don't have much experience as a DBA and we are using older version of Oracle database.  We are facing slowness in Oracle Database 10g since few months.

Details of DB Server as Below ::

Database :: 10.2.0.5

OS :: redhat - 4

RAM :: 12 GB

SGA :: 3136.31 MB

I tried to gather stats of DB objects but no performance gain.

So, I tried to look at which process at OS level that which process is consuming more memory using "htop" command.

I have found process "ora_dbw0" which is consuming 23% of memory(constantly) and CPU usage is 0 %.

I don't know that it is ok that this process consuming this much memory or I need to analyze why it is consuming 23% of memory.

Please guide me to resolve the performance issue.

Thanks.
