Well EMC DBTuner only reads from the SGA. There is no need to write to the SGA for that product. It doesn't need latching for it and won't get in the way of other process. The trick is in the way you attach to the SGA. Taht can be done in Readonly mode or Readwrite mode. DBTuner attaches in readonly mode. So if it tried to write in to the SGA, it would get an segmentation violation. So it is safe.
