Re: 11gR2 DB Flash Cache

Hey Jack,

I'm not sure but I think you can query the column name from v$sysstat where name like '%flash%cache%'.
I'm out of office now, so I'm not able to test it, but I'm almostly sure there's some stats there.

And for the objects you can query v$bh column status like '%flash%' then you get block number and check what is the object in dba_objects. I think that'll work.
