Copyright  2008 by CEBT System Global Area(SGA)  Memory Structure of Instance  Shared Pool Used to store the most recently executed SQL Used to Most recently used data definitions  Database Buffer Cache Stores copies of data block that have been retrieved from the data files  Redo Log Buffer Cache Records all changes made to the database data blocks 3

Copyright  2008 by CEBT Shared Pool  Library cache Contains statement text, parsed code, and execution plan  Data dictionary cache Contains definitions for tables, columns, and privileges from the data dictionary tables  UGA Session information for Oracle Shared Server user when large pool is not configured 4

Copyright  2008 by CEBT Library Cache  Used to store SQL statements and PL/SQL blocks to be shared by users  Managed by an LRU algorithm  Used to prevent statement reparsing 5

Copyright  2008 by CEBT Database Buffer Cache  Stores copies of data block and rollback block for caching that have been retrieved from the data files that server read  Enables great performance gains when you obtain and update data  Managed through a least recently used(LRU) algorithm 7

Copyright  2008 by CEBT Redo Log Buffer  Processes copy redo entries from the user’s memory space to the redo log buffer for each DML or DDL statement  The redo entries contain the information necessary to reconstruct or redo changes made to the database by INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE CREATE, ALTER, or DROP operations.  Used for database recovery  Take up continuous, sequential space in the buffer 11

Copyright  2008 by CEBT Latch of Redo Log Buffer  Redo Copy Latch Write log data to redo log buffer Two times of CPU number  Redo Allocation Latch Check and assign free spaces of redo log buffer to processes Write log data order by time Only one in the database  Redo Writing Latch Write data of redo log buffer to redo log file by LGWR Guarantee that only one LGWR executes 12
