What to use for memory_max_target on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Server

edited Jun 16, 2016 10:49AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

Hello,

We are going to have a Windows server (2008 R2) with 8 GB of memory running Oracle Database Standard Edition (11.2.0.3.0).  I would like to use Automatic Memory Management and need to determine the value for memory_target.  The database will be the only thing running on the server.  I understand that I need to leave memory for operating system, etc.  But, how do I determine this?  Is there a rule of thumb?  I have seen the following in another post:  Limit Oracle to leave 1G in every 4G to the OS up to 16G and then 1G in every 8G on up.  Is this a good rule of thumb?
