--官方解释
Property Description
Parameter type
Big integer
Syntax
PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT = integer [K | M | G]
Default value
By default, PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT is set to the greater of 2 GB, 200% of PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET, and 3 MB times the PROCESSES parameter. It will be set below 200% of PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET if it is larger than 90% of the physical memory size minus the total SGA size, but not below 100% of PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET.
Modifiable
ALTER SYSTEM
Modifiable in a PDB
No
Range of values
Oracle recommends that you do not set PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT below its default value. PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT cannot be set below its default value except in a text initialization parameter file (pfile) or binary server parameter file (spfile). If a value of 0 is specified, it means there is no limit to the aggregate PGA memory consumed by the instance.
Basic
No
PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT specifies a limit on the aggregate PGA memory consumed by the instance.
There is no difference in behavior between PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT being explicitly set or being set to the default.

在 Oracle 12c R1 之前,没有选项可以用来限制和控制 PGA 的大小。虽然你设置某个大小为 PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET 的初始参数,Oracle 会根据工作负载和需求来动态地增大或减小 PGA 的大小。而在 12c 中,你可以通过开启自动 PGA 管理来对 PGA 设定硬性限制,这需要对 PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT 参数进行设置。因此,你现在可以通过设置新的参数来对 PGA 设定硬性限制以避免过度使用 PGA。
