Explain oracle memory structures.  

Two memory area.

System global area(SGA)
Program Global Area(PGA)

SGA consist memory structure such as
Shared Pool
Database buffer cache
Redo log buffer
large Pool
Java Pool

We have two memory areas that comprise the memory structure of oracle.

System Global Area(SGA) : It is also called as Shared Global Area. It stores data and control information for the oracle server and can be shared by database processes.

Program Global Area(PGA) : It is also called as Process Global Area. It contains data and control information for a single server process.

Following are the structure contained in the SGA:

Shared pool: It stores most recently executed statements.
Database buffer cache: It stores copies of data block.
Redo log buffer: It records all changes made to the database blocks.
Large pool: It is optional area of the memory that can be used by the shared pool in order to relieve load on it.
Java pool: This area is used for parsing java command.
