Your database is configured in shared server mode. However, your senior DBA asks you to modify the value of the PRIVATE_SGA limit in the profile of the users. What could be the reason for this?

In dedicated server mode, the User Global Area (UGA) resides in each session's PGA, but in shared server mode the UGA is relocated into the SGA (specifically the large pool if configured, otherwise the shared pool) because session state must persist independently of any individual shared server process. The PRIVATE_SGA resource limit in a user profile caps the maximum SGA memory that a single session can allocate for its UGA, preventing one session from exhausting shared memory resources.

Dispatcher queue memory is a shared infrastructure element managed by the dispatcher process for all sessions collectively, not a per-user SGA allocation governed by a profile limit.

The request pool is a global shared structure used by all sessions to queue calls to available shared server processes and is not allocated on a per-user basis.

Local variables for individual shared server processes reside in each process's own PGA, not in the SGA, and cannot be limited on a per-user basis through PRIVATE_SGA.
