Streams pool consuming high memory without releasing it.

YasuJul 6 2010 — edited Sep 19 2011
Hi All,

I was in process of finding why streams pool size is consuming memory continuosly, which is taking from shared pool- Buffer cache.
SQL> select pool, sum(bytes)/1024/1024 Mbytes from v$sgastat group by pool;

POOL             MBYTES
------------ ----------
             831.999115
shared pool  898.869743
streams pool 2369.34533
large pool           16
java pool            16

SQL> select name, bytes/1024/1024 MB from v$sgastat where pool='streams pool' order by 2 desc;
