Oracle Tips by Burleson |
Oracle Data Buffer Monitoring
with STATSPACK
There are two ways to use
STATSPACK to compute the data buffer hit ratio. In Oracle8i and
beyond, we may use the stats$buffer_pool_statistics table. For
Oracle 8.0, the stats$sesstat table should be used.
NOTE: There is an important
difference between stats$buffer_pool_statistics in Oracle 8.0
and Oracle8i. If STATSPACK was back-ported into Oracle 8.0, the
stats$buffer_pool_statistics view does not give accurate data
buffer hit ratios for the DEFAULT, KEEP, and RECYCLE pools. Instead,
there is only one pool defined as FAKE VIEW. This uses the
stats$sysstat table and should be used for Oracle 8.0:

This script provides us with the
data buffer hit ratio for each of the buffer pools at one-hour
intervals. It is important that the KEEP pool always has a 99-100
percent DBHR. If this is not the case, data blocks should be added to
the KEEP pool to make it the same size as the sum of all object data
blocks that are assigned to the KEEP pool.
To summarize, the DBA can control
the data buffer hit ratio by adding blocks within the Oracle
parameters. Oracle recommends that the DBHR not fall below 90 percent.
