Measuring Cache Hit Ratio

Guidelines  of Hit Ratio

1.Full table scans

2.Data or application design

3.Large table with random access

4.Uneven distribution of cace hist

Hit Ratio Isn't Everything

1.A badly tuned database can still have a hit ratio of 99% or better

2.Hit ratio is only one part in determining tuning performance

3.Hit ratio does not determine whether a database is aptimally tuned

4.Use the oracle wait interface to examine what is causing a bottleneck

    a.v$session_wait

    b.v$session_event

    c.v$system_event

5.Tune SQL statements

Increase the Cache Size

1.Increase thecache size ratio under the following conditions:

  a.Any wait events have been tuned

  b.SQL statements have been tuned

  c.There is no undue page faulting

  d.The previous increase of the buffer cache was effective

  e.Low cache hit ratio

Calculating Hit Ratio

Identifying Pool Segments

1.Keep pool

   a.Blocks are accessed repeatedly

   b.Segment size is less than 10% of the default buffer pool size

2.Recycle pool

  a.Blocks are not resued outside of transaction

 b.Segment size is more than twice the default buffer pool size

Dictionary Views

select id, name, block_size, buffers from v$buffer_pool;

Caching Tables:

1.Enable caching during full table sacns by:

    a.Creating the tble with the CACHE clause

    b.Altering the table with the CACHE clause

    c.Using the CACHE hint in a query

2.Guideline : Do not overcrowd the buffer cache

3.Use a keep pool

原因：  进行全表扫描的时候 一般都会放在LRU list的末端  被淘汰出去，但是我们希望能在buffer里多留一段时间，因为这些表都是小表，而且常用，所以就有  Caching Talbes的由来  和 pin不一样， Cache table只是保证被淘汰出去的概率少点

ASSM

1.Manages free space automatically inside database setments

2.Tracks segment free/used space with bitmaps instead of free lists

3.Provides better space utilization, especiall for objects with highly varying size rows

4.Specified when creating a tablespace

5.Supported by Oracle Enterprise Manager

Free Lists (手动管理方式 已过时)

Multiple DBWn Processes

1.Multiple DB Writer(DBWn)processes:

  a.Can be deployed with DB_WRITER_PROCESSES(DBW0 to DBW9)

  b.Can be useful for SMP systems with large numbers of CPUS

  c.Can  not concurrently be used with multiple I/O slaves

2.The DBA can turn asynchronous I/O on or off wit the DISK_ASYNCH_IO parameter

Unit of Allocation

1.In the dynamic SGA model, the unit of memory allocation is called a granule.

2.SGA memory is tracked in granules by SGA components

3.A granule is a unit of contiguous virtual memory allocation

4.Use v$buffer_pool to monitor size of the buffer caches
