Databases use all memory on server

edited Feb 28, 2011 3:07PM in Database Tuning (MOSC) 8 commentsAnswered
We are running 5 Oracle E-business 10.2.0.4 databases on one linux vm server. The server has 23Gig memory available. When we start the databases it use about 16Gig of memory but within about 2 hours it use up all 23Gig of memory and the server starts to swap. The result is extremely poor performance.

sqa_max_size and sga_target is set to 1G
statistics_level is set to typical

We are not in a position to add more memory to the server.

Why would oracle use all the available memory and can I do anything to prevent it?

Howdy, Stranger!
