Hi,
I have oracle 10g RAC on HP-UX. We had a performance problem sometime ago and I see lot of library cache in Grid. Can some one tell me how to find what is causing the library cache and which is the hot object is?
Thanks

What evidence/proof do you have that library cache is part of the problem & not just an observation of reality.

The library cache is a necessary part of Oracle's implementation.
Yes, it is used by Oracle, otherwise it would not exist.

In My Opinion, you do not tune Oracle at the macro level (Database).
You tune the database 1 SQL statement at a time.
If/when Oracle has no SQL, it sits idle.
When you have poor performance, you tune the SQL which is not performing well.

When i ran the ASH report it was showing that 85% of wait event was library cache. You are right, I need to tune the application for which I was trying to get the sql that was causing the library cache contention. My question was how do i get the information on which sql is causing the library cache contention

Meaningless percentage?

If "wait event" is only 5% of elapsed time, then reducing "wait event" to zero still will NOT produce much of a change.

Tune the long running or resource intensive SQL statements
