Oracle Database: Session PGA Memory Usage




A helpful script to find sessions using large amounts of system memory:
SET LINESIZE 140
SET PAGESIZE 100
COL session      HEADING 'SID - User - Client' FORMAT a35
COL current_size HEADING 'Current MB' FORMAT '999,999.99'
COL maximum_size HEADING 'Max MB'     FORMAT '999,999.99'
BREAK ON REPORT
COMPUTE SUM LABEL 'Total' OF current_size ON REPORT
SELECT TO_CHAR(ssn.sid, '9999') || ' - ' || 
       NVL(ssn.username, NVL(bgp.name, 'background')) || ' - ' ||
       NVL(lower(ssn.machine), ins.host_name) "SESSION",
       TO_CHAR(prc.spid, '999999999') "PID/THREAD",
       se1.value/1024/1024 current_size,
       se2.value/1024/1024 maximum_size
 FROM  v$sesstat se1,
