Introduction

Memory allocation and de-allocation takes place at several times in database. Here you will
recognize the process of assigning global memory. The term System Resources basically includes
two major areas of Windows memory that are reserved for and used by particular Windows
components. You will also discuss in this unit the concept of system memory and system resource.

6.1 Global Memory Allocation

Memory may be assigned to a specific memory area when a stated event happens, like when an
application connects, or it may be reallocated depending on a alteration in a configuration
parameter setting.
The Figure 6.1 displays the dissimilar areas of memory that the database manager assigns for
numerous uses and the configuration parameters that permit you to manage the size of this
memory.

Notes In an Enterprise Server Edition environment that includes numerous logical database
partitions, every database partition contains its own Database Manager Shared Memory set.
