* The hidden parameter _shared_pool_reserved_pct, which defaults to 5 (for 5%), can be used instead of shared_pool_reserved_size.
* A relatively large object is defined by the instance parameter _shared_pool_reserved_min_alloc, which defaults to 4,400 bytes. Interesting, notice the default threshold value of 4,400 bytes is just larger than the typical single chunk request of 4,096 bytes. So, by default, Oracle is saying that any memory request larger than one typical size memory chunk request is to be considered large and therefore should get its memory from the reserved size.
Either of the first two parameters can be used to set the memory size exclusively reserved for the relatively large objects. If you set one of the parameters, Oracle calculates the other.5
