Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: negative value for buffer cache hit ratio
Hi,
My misses is
MISS_RATE
0.68%
Is that good or bad, Oracle 8.0.5 Standard Edition, Windows 2000.
Is there a 8.1.7 Standard Edition Version ?

--- Christopher Thanks. This script ran from 7.3.4 to 8.1.6 with following result... I hope misses less than 1% is not bad...Any comment SQL> select to_char(100 * misses / (logical - physical + misses), '9990.00') || 2 '%' miss_rate 3 from ( select total_waits misses 4 from sys.v_$system_event 5 where event = 'db file sequential read'), 6 ( select value physical 7 from sys.v_$sysstat 8 where name = 'physical reads'), 9 ( select sum(value) logical 10 from sys.v_$sysstat 11 where name like '%consistent read gets' 12 or name = 'db block gets'); MISS_RATE --------- 0.90% Regards MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Reply-To: ORACLE-L_at_fatcity.com To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <ORACLE-L_at_fatcity.com> Date: Tue, 07 Aug 2001 12:23:02 -0800 I assume you have 8.1.7, since 8.1.7 they changed things back to how it was done in 7.3.4. This script works for 7.3.4 and 8.1.7/9.0.1 select to_char(100 * misses / (logical - physical + misses), '9990.00') || '%' miss_rate from ( select total_waits misses from sys.v_$system_event where event = 'db file sequential read'), ( select value physical from sys.v_$sysstat where name = 'physical reads'), ( select sum(value) logical from sys.v_$sysstat where name like '%consistent read gets' or name = 'db block gets');Received on Tue Aug 07 2001 - 15:35:47 CDT

The difference here is it takes in account of direct writes.
