> 1) How big (max) can an Oracle SGA be in a 32bit platform (Windows and > Linux on ia32)?
This doesn't fully answer your question, but you may want to take a look at this white paper. http://otn.oracle.com/tech/linux/pdf/9iR2-on-Linux-Tech-WP-Final.PDF Do realize that PAE (36bit kernel/physical memory addressing on x86) is this side of black magic -- it (mostly) works, but there are lots of if's, but's, and other caveats. I would highly recommend testing and talking with oracle if you were going to deploy such a system in producton to insure that the SGA size, hardware, and linux distribution you are choosing is a combination which would produce sane results. -- craig .- ... . -.-. .-. . - -- . ... ... .- --. .
