One of my co-worker came with this ques. In the init.ora file he had set the 
shared_pool_size to 10M and db_block_buffers=1024 and redolog buffer to 32768. but 
when he did sho sga in the sql*plus prompt he got the following output 

Total System Global Area   41297948 bytes
Fixed Size                    75804 bytes
Variable Size              32755712 bytes
Database Buffers            8388608 bytes
Redo Buffers                  77824 bytes

Doing a select on V$SGA also gave the same result.

My shared pool size is only 10M, why it is showing nearly 40M. From where did oracle 
derive the extra MB's? I ran throu the oracle manual and got only answer for database 
buffers.

Can any one tell from where these extra MB's come to Oracle from the OS.

TIA

Venkat
