Oracle DB 19C ADMINISTRATION SERIES

The document provides guidelines for setting the System Global Area (SGA) and Program Global Area (PGA) in Oracle databases based on different workloads (OLTP, OLAP/DSS, and Mixed). It includes formulas for calculating memory allocation ratios and examples for a server with 50 GB RAM. Additionally, it offers a shell script and SQL code for automating the memory allocation process.

SGA and PGA Setting

Formula to calculate the SGA:PGA ratio in Oracle database .The


ratio between SGA and PGA varies depending on whether the
database is OLTP, OLAP/DSS or Mixed workload.

General Formula
Total Memory for Oracle ( ~75%) of Physical RAM

 T = Total server RAM (e.g., 50 GB)


 M = Memory allocated to Oracle instance
 SGA = Memory allocated to SGA
 PGA = Memory allocated to PGA

 M=0.75×T
 SGA+PGA=M

OLTP Workload (Online Transactions )

Component % of M Ratio
SGA 75% 3:1
PGA 25% 1:3

Formula:
 SGA=0.77×M
 PGA=0.25×M

OLAP / DSS Workload ( Heavy Queries)

Component % of M Ratio
SGA 40% 2:5
PGA 60% 3:5

Formula:
 SGA=0.40×M
 PGA=0.60×M

Mixed Workload

Component % of M Ratio
SGA 60 3:5
PGA 40 2:5

Formula:
 SGA=0.40×M
 PGA=0.60×M

Example Calculation for (50 GB RAM) server.


Use Case:

 T = 50 GB
 M = 0.75 × 50 = 37.5 GB

Scenario:
OLTP Instances (Ratio ~ 3:1)

 SGA=0.75×37.5=28.125 GB
 PGA=0.25×37.5=9.375 GB

OLAP Instances (Ratio ~ 2:3)

 SGA=0.40×37.5=15 GB
 PGA=0.60×37.5=22.5 GB

Mixed Workload Instances (Ratio ~ 2:1)

 SGA=0.66×37.5=24.75 GB,
 PGA=0.34×37.5=12.75 GB

Reference Table

Workload Ratio SGA


PGA (GB)
Type (SGA:PGA) (GB)
OLTP 3:1 28.13 9.38
OLAP 2:3 15 22.5
Mixed 2:1 24.75 12.75

Tip

For Automatic Memory Management (AMM) :

ALTER SYSTEM SET memory_target = 37.5G SCOPE = SPFILE;


ALTER SYSTEM SET memory_max_target = 40G SCOPE =
SPFILE;
