William,

What tool? I don't trust them as far as I can throw them.

What does this query show you?

elect trunc(100*(1-(p.value/(d.value+c.value))),1) from v$sysstat p, v$sysstat d, v$sysstat c where c.name = 'consistent gets'
and p.name = 'physical reads'
and d.name = 'db block gets'
/

What type of application runs on this system? When was the last time the database came down? What recent activity has happened on the database? Depending on the answer to these questions, you may or may not want to strive for a better buffer cache hit ratio - what you have may be reasonable.

db_block_buffers will increase the db buffer cache in your sga and may
"improve" your buffer cache hit ratio.

OK, so I have a new utility to monitor overall SGA usage. Breaks it down to show statistics on the major components.

Nothing that unusual, but, I notice that 'Buffer Cache Hit Ratio' is low from my perspective (78.56%). 'Library Cache Hit Ratio' is running at 97.54%, while 'Data Dictionary Cache Hit' is running at 96.11%. I would like to increase 'Buffer Cache Hit Ratio' to about 93-95% but am unsure which SGA parameter I need to increase.

Thanks for your assistance.
