MEMOPTIMIZE_POOL

1.206 MEMOPTIMIZE_POOL_SIZE

MEMOPTIMIZE_POOL_SIZE sets the size of the memoptimize pool, a memory area in the system global area (SGA) used by the Memoptimized Rowstore.

Property	Description
Parameter type	Big integer
Syntax	`MEMOPTIMIZE_POOL_SIZE =` `integer` `[K \| M \| G]`
Default value	0
Modifiable	No
Modifiable in a PDB	No
Range of values	0 to no maximum
Basic	No
Oracle RAC	Different values can be used on different instances.

The Memoptimized Rowstore improves the data query performance of applications, such as Internet of Things (IoT), that frequently query tables based on primary key values.

The Memoptimized Rowstore provides the capability of fast lookup of data for the tables that are mainly queried based on primary key columns.

This parameter specifies an integer value to indicate the amount of SGA to use for allocating the following structures for the memoptimize pool:

The size of the buffer cache region: This is the total number of blocks for all MEMOPTIMIZE FOR READ tables.
The size of the hash index segmented data structure pointing to the special blocks of MEMOPTIMIZE FOR READ tables.

Calculate the buffer cache requirement for the table being considered for MEMOPTIMIZE FOR READ, and include an additional 25% memory requirement for the hash index segmented data structure.

These structures are allocated from SGA at instance startup.

The value specified for this parameter counts toward SGA_TARGET. For example, if you set SGA_TARGET to 10 GB and you set MEMOPTIMIZE_POOL_SIZE to 2 GB, then 20% of the SGA_TARGET setting is allocated to the memoptimize pool.

Unlike other SGA components such as the buffer cache and shared pool, the memoptimize pool size is not controlled by automatic memory management. The database does not automatically shrink the memoptimize pool when the buffer cache or shared pool requires more memory, or increase the memoptimize pool when it runs out of space. You can only increase the size of the memoptimize pool by manually adjusting the MEMOPTIMIZE_POOL_SIZE initialization parameter.
