MON$MEMORY_ALLOCATED

BIGINT

The amount of memory allocated by the operating system, in bytes.This data is about the low-level memory allocation performed by the Firebird memory manager — the amount of memory allocated by the operating system — which can allow you to control the physical memory usage.

BIGINT

The maximum number of bytes allocated for this object by the operating system
Note

Counters associated with database-level records MON$DATABASE (MON$STAT_GROUP = 0), display memory allocation for all connections.In the Classic and SuperClassic zero values of the counters indicate that these architectures have no common cache.

Minor memory allocations are not accrued here but are added to the database memory pool instead.
