Hello,
I'm trying to test how size of the SGA parameters affects the
database's performace.
I'm going to test shared_pool_size, db_cache_size and db_nk_cache_size
parameters.
I would like to do it properly because these tests will be part of my
master's thesis.
I don't have ability to use real database with real users so I must
simulate test workload.
I am running Oracle 10g on linux.
Actually I have written testing program in python using cx_Oracle
module.
Program creates several threads, each thread represents one user.
Users connects to Oracle and execute some SQL queries.
I compare execution time for analyzed parameter's values.
I think that I should consider buffer and library cache hit ratios.
Is this a good way?
These two ways measures only time and physical reads.
What other issues should I examine?
Can you give me some hints how can I do it well?
Thanks for all comments and suggestions.
