1/ Reduce SGA
2/ Reduce job_queue_processes value
But why do you want to kill these processes?

I think you should read
Database Concepts
Database Administrator's Guide or at least 2 Day DBA

I hope you are not managing production. I suggest you to follow Oracle course or hire a DBA, you do handle Oracle processes at OS level.

Michel

Job processes do not consume (about) anything but when they are executing a job. If you want to reduce their number do as I said.

Database Performance Tuning Guide but of course OraFAQ Performance Tuning and Tuning High-Volume SQL Wiki page are good reading.
Database Backup and Recovery Basics for the first steps.

Thanks a lot for the valueable advice and reference links.

My present priority is to reduce the memory size that it has consumed.
when i give the command prstat -a, i get the foll. o/p

NPROC USERNAME SIZE RSS MEMORY TIME CPU
56 oracle8i 4470M 3979M 98% 0:03.50 0.8%
36 root 199M 71M 1.7% 0:02.00 0.0%
1 daemon 2084K 108K 0.0% 0:00.00 0.0%

Here how to reduce the memory contention and how to chk whr is the root cause,,,!!!

Do not crosspost and repeat your topic.
It is useless (as they will be merged) and counterproductive (as the time I spend managing your post, I don't spend it posting useful answer).

As I said:

Quote:

1/ Reduce SGA

Oracle use shared memory, this one is attached in every Oracle process and so you have it in every Oracle process but it is one.
Actual Oracle process size is (about) SIZE-RSS.

Thanks for Info, but thing is we are not using the SGA parameter.
instead we are using only the below parameters,,

****************************
db_block_size = 8192
log_buffer = 163840
shared_pool_size = 60227737
db_block_buffers = 14731

Yes, you use them (and you post them), you need to read the links I posted you, managing Oracle is not shooting in the dark.
