Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: negative value for buffer cache hit ratio
1.- Go to this link of Steve Adam's site:
http://www.ixora.com.au/scripts/cache.htm
You gonna find a script to estimate the miss rate of the buffer cache based on the assumptions that certain operations are not well compute by statistics as direct path operations.
2.- From 8.X you should rely on
v$buffer_pool_statistics from the script
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catperf.sql accounting on the
several pools you could have.
3.- Remember that even on 8.X, when the database has been opened for a long time and have had a lot of transactions, the value of statistics gets so big that reaches the maximum value and then begins from 0 again. This usually happens with 7.X.
Regards.
