Oracle Database Administration from Zero to Hero - Database Memory Concepts (Part 1 of 2)

This video tutorial covers the concepts of database memory, focusing on Oracle's System Global Area (SGA) and Program Global Area (PGA). It explains the components of SGA, such as the shared pool, buffer cache, and redo log buffer, and their roles in optimizing database operations. The tutorial also delves into the PGA, highlighting its importance in managing client sessions. A detailed discussion on the database buffer cache and the Least Recently Used (LRU) mechanism is provided, emphasizing how these elements enhance data retrieval efficiency.
