Hi Everyone,
I have a question regarding what is seen to be an acceptable number of total waits for particular events. I have gathered some stats below.
EVENT TOTAL_WAITS
---------------------------------------------------------------- -----------
control file sequential read 7483
control file parallel write 161288
log file sequential read 8
log file single write 8
log file parallel write 224
log file sync 14
db file sequential read 42651
db file scattered read 118986
db file parallel write 145
direct path read 46240
direct path write 614
sort segment request 1
library cache pin 960
Basically, my question is, how do I know what is an acceptable number of total waits for a system for event: db file scattered read.
as an example.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks .... IA

Hi,
According to me before knowing the appropriate wait time u should know what is the actual meaning of the event. In ur case "db file scattered read" is really to high but if u dont know what "db file scattered read" means than you can't do anything. Like "db file scattered read" means oracle is facing waits while having multiple reads from hard disk (physical reads). There may be some hardware problem like hard disk may be too slow to process the requests.
In short very first you should know what actually this wait for? and whether it is acceptable or not? Once you get the answer of first question then getting the answer of second would be much easier.
