 Managing Memory
Components

• Automatic Memory Management (AMM)

▪ Enables you to specify total memory allocated to instance (including both SGA and
PGA)

• Automatic Shared Memory Management (ASMM):

▪ Enables you to specify total SGA memory through one initialization parameter
▪ Enables the Oracle server to manage the amount of memory allocated to the
shared pool, Java pool, buffer cache, streams pool, and large pool

• Manually setting shared memory management:

▪ Sizes the components through multiple individual initialization parameters
▪ Uses the appropriate Memory Advisor to make recommendations
