RE: DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS

In lieu of something scientific , raise it slowly until you level out at your hit% you want.

Using T.O.A.D. I found our database has a Buffer Cache Hit Rate of just udner 76%.
The advise is that the db_block_buffers may need to be increased.

Our db_block_size is 8K.
db_block_buffers is currently set to 4096

Any advise as to how to determine the optimal size for db_block_buffers ?

Thanx for any hints !

Greets,

Kirsten
