What is mean by Program Global Area (PGA) ?

Answer Posted / bhaskar

Hi,
It is the part of memory used by a singe process or thread.
Each oracle background process have PGA area.and is not
sharable.it get allocated when the process starts and gets
deallocated on completion of the process by oracle server.

It contains short area,session specific information,user
previliges,cursor state etc.It is writable only by the
server process.

Thanks-Bhaskar Gouda
