I don't know why you got angry and replying like that. This question might be stupid for you but not for me. I want to know something and I asked it.

I am new to oracle databases. A senior DBA asked me to scale up an oracle instance which means make changes to init.ora files to make database handle more and more transactions.

I told him that PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET and SGA_TARGET modification will scale up an oracle instance. He was not satisfied with my answer and told me to do research on it. I did some research on google but could not find anything. As per my understanding about oracle databases modifying PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET and SGA_TARGET will do the needful.

This is the reason I asked this question here.

As there is nothing to find on this.
Better ask him what is the answer I would very glad to know what is it.
Or better, ask him to post his answer here, I'm sure he will profit from our answers.

And you need to understand the word "Scale" before you can go any further than just sga and pga.

For example.

Scale 1.
Increase data volume by 10.
(eg, going from test database to productiond atabase)

Scale 2
Increase Number of Connections to a database
(eg. going from a live sized test environment to a proper live environment)

Scale 3
Increase workload on a database.
(more requirements to process the same data in different ways, more complex queries).

all of these have very different requirements

Hi Coleing,

I guess my senior dba is talking about scale2 and scale3 that you have mentioned.

Any suggestions on init.ora parameters for these?

Thanks
Andy
