What is eating up the shared pool?

rahulrasJul 9 2012 — edited Jul 12 2012
Hi All,

Oracle v 11.2.0.2.
The database I have, has 50GB SGA. I was trying to find out if that is being used properly or not. Shared pool is occupying almost 14GB, so I am trying to find out what is eating up those 14GB.
Please see the following queries.
I can see that about 4GB is teken up by SQLs. How can I find out about remaining 9GB? Also, let me know if I am doing something totally wrong :-)

We have a third party software, which I doubt, fires lot of SQLs with hardcoded literals (and not bind veriables). But those SQLs account for the 4GBs in SQL area. How can I find out about rest of 9GB?

Thanks in advance.
