I have alot of batch loading processes that run over night. A few them use 2GB or more of sort space in my temp tablespace. I know I can increase my pga_aggregate_target dynamically, however, I believe I read that oracle only allows 1 process to use up to 5% of the pga_aggregate_Target. anyway to flex this up? I just need the extra sort space for a few operations at certain times. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
