Hey, I just remembered that Oracle on Linux runs as multiple processes , unlike Oracle on Windows which runs as one big process. Does this mean each Oracle process on Linux can access 3GB of memory? So that in the end the whole of Oracle can actually use greater than 3GB of memory? -- Lyndon Tiu

The txn log is just a separate database file(s) and they can autogrow in increments (MB or %). The growth can be unrestricted or restricted to a fixed MB size. Though command line TSQL can create the files with space allocated in units (KB/MB/GB/TB). The wizard isn't quite as flexible. There
