You Asked

Can the shared_pool_size and the streams_pool_size parameters be set to the same value?

Both parameters are currently set to zero. I would like to set them both to 2g. I will need to use about 1.5g of the streams_pool memory for Golden Gate. Will this work?

Thanks much for your help.

That depends.

If you are using "sga_target" than setting streams pool size will grab an allocation from the total sga, thus reducing shared pool (or other areas), so you would want to ensure sga_target is set appropriately before doing that.

If you're doing all these settings manually, then they can be set in isolation.

Nice blog post on the topic here
