HOW TO USE MORE THAN TWO GB RAM FOR ORACLE IN WINDOW 32 BITS

Using AWE in Windows is relatively simple. From the Oracle 3 gig address space, we allocate space for a ‘window’ onto the whole of the db buffers.
• The size of this window is user-configurable.
• The larger the window, the more buffers are quickly available, however the larger the window, the less space there is for other memory structures like shared pool, connections, PGAs, etc.
• Set use_indirect_data_buffers=true
• Set AWE_WINDOW_SIZE in the registry to the number of bytes of address space to use for your window onto extended memory. The default is 1GB.
• Increase db_block_buffers to a higher value up to available memory
