Testing performance of queries (caching) [message #65433]

Hi,

I would like to compare the performance of 2 queries (namely how long it takes to query large sets of data). Now, when I run the first query, it takes a considerable amount of time to run, but subsequent runs will be instantaneous. I believe this is due to the db caching the results. Then when I run the second query, it would be fast as well.

How do yo test performance when the db uses caching?

Hi,

From Oracle 10g, one can flush the DB Cache. Example:

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH BUFFER_CACHE; 
 
System altered.

Best regards.
