Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Slow database, too MANY buffers???
Hi all,
I'm late to the party on this, but I'm trying to understand what the results of Jonathon's query mean.
I have a database that I suspect has a "too large" buffer cache. Here's the SGA:
SQL> show sga
Total System Global Area 864323352 bytes
Fixed Size 280344 bytes Variable Size 167772160 bytes Database Buffers 687865856 bytes Redo Buffers 8404992 bytes
Jonathan's query:
SQL> select file#, dbablk, count(*)
2 from x$bh
3 group by
4 file#, dbablk
5 having count(*) > 5
6 ;
FILE# DBABLK COUNT(*)

99 rows selected.
So, the count(*) is the number of copies of that block in the SGA? Is it desirable to keep this number down (<7)? If so, why? Doesn't a CR copy of a block have to be done for each query, assuming they are performed at different points in time? If the SGA were smaller, I assume that a block would be aged out or the SGA resulting in a lower count. Is this faster than just reading another copy into the SGA (and having a higher count)?
Thanks!
:P

Thanks Stephen, but I'm just not ambitious enough for that today. :)
