Re: divide with decode

Srinivas,

That's because the values are in 2 different rows.

Notice that your query returns 2 rows. One row will have the 'db block gets', the other will have the 'physical reads'.

This will do it:

select a.value/b.value
from v$sysstat a, v$sysstat b
where a.name = 'physical reads'
and b.name = 'db block gets';
