Dedicated and Shared Servers

Dedicated and Shared Servers

Memory allocation depends, in some specifics, on whether the system uses dedicated or shared server architecture. Table 7–1 shows the differences.

Software Code Areas

Software code areas are portions of memory used to store code that is being run or can be run. Oracle code is stored in a software area that is typically at a different location from users’ programs—a more exclusive or protected location.

Software areas are usually static in size, changing only when software is updated or reinstalled. The required size of these areas varies by operating system.

Software areas are read-only and can be installed shared or nonshared. When possible, Oracle code is shared so that all Oracle users can access it without having multiple copies in memory. This results in a saving of real main memory and improves overall performance.

User programs can be shared or nonshared. Some Oracle tools and utilities (such as SQL*Forms and SQL*Plus) can be installed shared, but some cannot. Multiple instances of Oracle can use the same Oracle code area with different databases if running on the same computer.

Note: The option of installing software shared is not available for all operating systems (for example, on PCs operating Windows).

See your Oracle operating system-specific documentation for more information.
