What is mean by Program Global Area (PGA) ?

Answer Posted / guneetinder singh

When an oracle server starts up it will allocate two memory
areas SGA(System global area) and PGA(Program Global Area).
SGA is allocated to the user when any new oracle instance
starts up at the server for sharing different data between
difference users.
PGA is allocated to the server when oracle server starts up.
in this only server processes can work.
