ORA-56752: Oracle Database Express Edition (XE) memory parameter invalid or not specified

With sga_target=2G
XE 18c instance cannot startup:
ORA-56752: Oracle Database Express Edition (XE) memory parameter invalid or not specified
What is the memory limit?
Best Answer
-
it seems PGA+SGA counted both and should not exceed 2G total. Any proportions can be set between them
Answers

Oracle 18c XE has FIXED limits on memory. SGA_MAX_SIZE = 2G. Due to limitations of XE you can not do things like add that parameter to XE.Set sga_target back to zero and restart your db.

Thank you for reply.
User can change memory components anyhow on XE.
Total of all is <= 2G.

Indeed. To fix your original problem how ever, it would have been necessary to set sga_target back to 0. You did not mention you were setting other memory parameters.

Instead of showing an error message when trying to initialize a new database exceeding the XE limits or to warn when trying to change these values afterwards the DBMS will just not work properly. User/Operator friendliness is not something Oracle cares about.
