    Oracle inactive connections

    We have a couple of Oracle (8.x and 9.x) install on Sun Solaris
    platforms. On most of the servers we have a very strange problem

    1. When Oracle is started in the morning, memory usage is very low.
    2. During the course of the day the memory the memory increases upto
    50-60GB
    3. When I check the active connections in Oracle (v$session table), I
    find that out of 80-100 connections, only 5-10 are active whereas the
    others are inactive.

    I find it hard to believe that Oracle does not automatically close
    these inactive connections. Do I have to do this manually or am I
    missing something very elementary here ?

    Please assist.
