In 8i LARGE_POOL_SIZE defaulted to 18M if not set when using P_A_T. I have not yet
tried this in 9i, though.
But, if P_A_T is set to true, it affects a number of other parameters.
Check Oracle9i Data Warehousing Guide. There is a chapter (#21) on Parallel Execution.
And there is a formula to compute LARGE_POOL_SIZE using PARALLEL_EXECUTION_POOL plus
other geeky stuff... :)
The catch is they don't explain how PARALLEL_EXECUTION_POOL is computed. Doesn't it
sound like an init.ora parameter?
but it is not).
In one of the Metalink forum threads, there is a reference to review other related
parameters as described in that chapter to establish resource limits for Parallel
Operations. So, this is a new term manufactured by Oracle to keep us guessing.
I would not set LARGE_POOL_SIZE to any value if I used P_A_T. Let Oracle figure it
out.
One can always check what values Oracle derives for other parameters...
I don't think LARGE_POOL_SIZE will shrink once it gets allocated. Shrinking memory
dynamically is an expensive operation.

Tc - I haven't played with these parameters, so I can only offer some ideas
based on the documentation, and maybe someone who has tested this will
respond.
It looks like if you set PARALLEL_AUTOMATIC_TUNING and leave the
LARGE_POOL_SIZE unset, then Oracle will calculate the large pool size for
you. Maybe Oracle thinks you have set LARGE_POOL_SIZE too low and it is
providing a higher value. One test you could perform would be to comment
LARGE_POOL_SIZE out and see if you receive the same value.
Now, as to Oracle dynamically reducing the LARGE_POOL_SIZE, I don't see
any hint that this will occur. Have you seen this mentioned somewhere?

Dennis,
Its 9i release 9.0.1.1.1 on Windows 2000.
Heres the query & output
SQL> select name,round(bytes/(1024*1024),1) from v$sgastat where pool='large
pool';
Enter ...
NAME ROUND(BYTES/(1024*1024),1)
