Thanks,

As far as I know, the correct value is as close to 100% as possible. So, if mine is 0.68

-------------------------*
MISS_RATE                I
---------                I
    0.67%                I
                         I
This is now 9:15 am.     I
-------------------------*

I find the performance of the DB good, but as the result of the query I think that it could get better.

I executed this script that was posted yesterday in the list.

select to_char(100 * misses / (logical - physical + misses), '9990.00') ||
  2 '%' miss_rate
  3 from ( select total_waits misses

  4            from sys.v_$system_event
  5           where event = 'db file sequential read'),
  6         ( select value  physical
  7             from sys.v_$sysstat
  8            where name = 'physical reads'),
  9         ( select sum(value)  logical
10             from sys.v_$sysstat
11            where name like '%consistent read gets'
12               or name = 'db block gets');

Hi,

Generally speaking.. HIT RATIOS does not give the true picture always. I have seen databases performing extremely good with 50% and bad databases with 99% hit ratio.

You should never decide the database performance based on hit ratio and 90% hit ratio does not mean that 90% of the data is ALWAYS read from the cache. It translates in to something like this..A block is read (consistent get) 9-10 times before written to disk..

You should check your system wide wait statistics for better tuning..


Have a nice day !!
