Re: UTLBSTAT/UTLESTAT: System wide wait events

Glenn,

Some wait events are documented in the Oracle Server Tuning Guide, but there's no single place where you can find documentation on all of them. It's hard to comment on your results without seeing the rest of the report and knowing a bit about your system, but I can say that the first 8 events ("SQL*Net message" to "pmon timer") represent waits which occur while processes are idle. The fact that "latch free" is greater than "db file" waits suggests that you may have a latch contention problem. Another section of the report should list miss rates on the various latches.
