> Hi,
> With db file scattered read, if it is not a datawarehouse db, you must tune your SQL. It means there is a lot of full table scan/full index scan.
> If the full table scan is necessary, then increasing db_file_multiblock_read_count is good. Though it is still the no.1 wait event, pay attention to the ratio of this event waited.If the ratio decreased, it means you are doing good.right?
> Tune some os parameter like stripe size, maxphys(in solaris, not knowing the corresponding parameter in aix) will also help.
