Hello,

How can I know if I have enough RAM, swap?
Can I have any problem if i increase RAM from 512M to 1G on server.
Can I have problem if I add another processor?
Is there any process need to be done when I am doing such operations? (instance,SGA ...?)

Any help welcome!

#2. No. More RAM is never a problem. Of course you have to put it in use, by increasing your SGA, otherwise what'e the point.

#3. No. Unless you consider your server processing data faster a problem.

#4. Shutdown your database, take a cold backup, validate it, then let the Sys Admins do the changes. Then start tuning the SGA and parallel clauses.

Hope that helps,
