MMAN - Oracle 10g的Memory manager进程

MMAN进程是Oracle 10g引入用于进行内存管理的进程，在进行动态内存调整时，这个进程要发挥其作用。
在文档上，Oracle说，这个进程的作用是内部数据库任务的执行者：MMAN is used for internal database tasks.

这里的内部任务显然包括自动的内存调整，但是不排除还有其他使命。
当进行内存调整时，有一个等待事件于此有关：

SGA: MMAN sleep for component shrink

MMAN to wait and post itself for satisfying an auto-tuned memory request while trying to fully free a component's quiesced granules. In Release 10.1, the name of this event was 'wait for SGA component shrink'.

在后台转储跟踪，可以看到MMAN进程的等待：

WAIT #0: nam='rdbms ipc message' ela= 2449387 timeout=245 p2=0 p3=0 obj#=-1 tim=9818925363

然而在很多繁忙的环境中，自动的内存调整会成为一个负担，所以很多用户禁用了这一功能。
