深入解析Oracle 10g中SGA_MAX_SIZE和SGA_TARGET参数的区别和作用
SGA_MAX_SIZE是从9i以来就有的作为设置SGA大小的一个参数，而SGA_TARGET则是从10g才有的一个新参数，作为配合10g自动管理SGA而出现的，下面以实验的方式，深入解析这2个参数的区别和作用

注意，resizeable值为NO的，都是不可动态调整的值，并且由于SGA_TARGET和SGA_MAX_SIZE的大小一致，因此Free
SGA Memory Available=0，而所有可动态调整的几个内存组件再加上一个4M Granule Size，则正好等于SGA_TARGET的值

我们也可以从v$sga_dynamic_components这个视图了解各内存组件的内存分配情况，和v$sgainfo内容基本是一致的，除了没有展示Gradual Size这一项

SGA = shared pool + large pool + java pool + streams pool + DEFAULT buffer cache = 80 +4 + 4 + 8 + 172 =268M
这个算出来的SGA值比SGA_TARGET的值少了4M，其实就是那个Gradual Size的值

ISSYS_MODIFIABLE列的值为FALSE的，就是不能动态修改的参数，需重启生效，为IMMEDIATE的，即可以动态修改

如果不带scope参数，默认为both，但要在内存中生效，必须满足SGA_TARGET<SGA_MAX_SIZE的条件，因此必须指定scope=spfile,因此虽然是动态参数，但是依旧要重启后生效

可以看到，当调整了SGA_TARGET参数后，尽管没有去手动调整SGA_MAX_SIZE的值，但现在它自动和修改后的SGA_TARGET的值匹配了，从272M调整为352M，这里还有个比较有意思的地方，就是指定了350M，为何会变为352M，这多出来的2M又是什么呢？
SQL> select 350/4 "Granual Count" from dual;
Granual Count

SQL> select 88*4 "SGA_SIZE(MB)" from dual;

352
其实很容易理解，刚才说了Granual Size的大小为4M，由于Granual必须完整地分配，因此会分配给SGA共88个Granual，即88*4=352M,也就是多给了2M
再来看一下刚才那些内存组件的内存分配情况

当我们把SGA_TARGET从272M调整为350M时，由于Gruanual的存在，Oracle实际给SGA分配了352M的内存，而这352M内存中，其他内存组件的大小都没有发生变化，仅仅只是db buffer cache的值由之前的172M调整到了252M
之所以db buffer cache size随着SGA_TARGET的值自动调整，是因为这时10g的新特性，只要SGA_TARGET为非零值，那么内存组件就是采用动态分配原则，由Oracle自动调整各内存组件的大小。不过有个地方挺奇怪的，虽然从启动实例时分配地内存也好，从v$sgainfo以及v$sga_dynamic_components中也好，看到的值都是252M，而从参数看db_cache_size的值，仍然是172M，不知何故，难道是bug?

刚才是直接修改SGA_TARGET而不修改SGA_MAX_SIZE的情况，我们再来看一下反过来的情况，先把SGA_TARGET调整回272M

注意，一旦SGA_TARGET动了，重启数据库后，SGA_MAX_SIZE会跟着调整，也一起回到了272M的状态，但与增大SGA_TARGET时的情况不同，也可以选择不重启数据库，那么SGA_MAX_SIZE的值就不会做调整，而内存组件的值依然会跟着SGA_TARGET走（体现动态调整）

刚才是直接调整SGA_TARGET,我们再来看一下只调整SGA_MAX_SIZE的情况，先重启数据库，使SGA_MAX_SIZE的值回到272M

注意，仅仅调整SGA_MAX_SIZE后，SGA_TARGET并不会跟着调整，因此各内存组件的值也不会调整，而这时我们发现Free SGA Memory Available的值为80M，而不再是之前的0了，调整SGA_MAX_SIZE为SGA_TARGET增加了80M的上限，这80就是352-272得到的，相当于做了个预留，告诉SGA，你可以现在只用172M，但如果想增加，可以再多用80M，达到352M。而这个时候只要SGA_TARGET重新设置的值没有超过SGA_MAX_SIZE的值，就可以在不停库的情况下增加SGA大小，这样做是有好处的
最后，我们还可以把SGA_TARGET设置为0，即表示禁用10g的新特性——自动分配内存，这样我们可以对各个内存组件的值进行单独设置，对于特殊的应用场景，有时候也是需要的，因为自动管理只是oracle提供的一种便利行，但并不意味着自动调整就一定万事皆OK，11g的自动内存管理就一度被诟病，这里不讨论

设置SGA_TARGET=0以后，已经分配的内存组件的值不会变化，如果不设置新值，那么依旧保持原来的值，除非单独设置，即使从起数据库实例也一样，SGA_MAX_TARGET依然不会再根据SGA_TARGET调整，因为SGA_MAX_TARGET我们是给过它确定的值的

重启数据库实例后，SGA_MAX_SIZE的值没有跟着SGA_TARGET做调整，除非再次增大SGA_TARGET的大小并超过SGA_MAX_SIZE的上限，那么下次重启后，SGA_MAX_SIZE又会再一次跟着SGA_TARGET调整

SGA_MAX_SIZE又再一次和SGA_TARGET的值一致了，并且380正好可以除尽4，共分配95个Granual，因此不会有多2M的问题
总结：
1.SGA_MAX_SIZE是静态参数，而SGA_TARGET可以动态修改，当要改的SGA_TARGET值超过SGA_MAX_SIZE的值时，因为不允许在内存中直接生效，即scope=both或memory都不行，因此必须指定scope=spfile,重启后才能修改成功。如果此时没有设置过SGA_MAX_SIZE得值，那么无论是改大还是改小，重启数据库后，SGA_MAX_SIZE都回跟着SGA_TARGET做调整。
2.当先给SGA_MAX_SIZE设置了一个较大的值，重启数据库后，SGA_TARGET可以依然保持原有大小，相当于给SGA_TARGET先预留了一些内存，预先设置好可SGA可分配内存，等到数据库出现压力导致SGA内存不足，可以直接通过SGA_TARGET动态修改到这一上限而无需停库。
3.当给SGA_TARGET设置非零值时，表示采用内存组件内存由oracle动态调整，如shared
pool,db buffer cache等，这些内存组件只会跟着SGA的大小动态进行调整（增大或减小），与其他值无关。
4.当SGA_TARGET设置为零时，表示禁用内存组件由SGA自动管理，如果未做单独设置，那么保持原有值。此时可以根据具体场景需求，单独
为某个内存组件配置合理的内存大小。
5.如果是先设置了SGA_MAX_SIZE的值，再设置了SGA_TARGET，那么只有当SGA_TARGET设置的值超过SGA_MAX_SIZE的值时，SGA_MAX_SIZE才会在重启生效后，调整到与SGA_TARGET的值一致，反之则不会改变。
