Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RE: sequential reads/scattered reads
Are you sure that these are the ones that are slowing
the system down ? Did you try to find out at what
time of the day the system is really slow and execute
your wait/event queries at that time ? Did you get
a slice of 10046 data when the application was actually
running slow ? You could be looking at waits which
are not really the problem.
FWIW ! Mike

Cary Millsap,
i selected the top 25 SQL statements in the system over various periods . all are SELECT statements only waiting for reads.
querying v$session_wait also shows more than 10 records each for DB FILE SCATTERED READS and DB FILE SEQUENTIAL READS.does not it mean that it's b'coz of I/O contention ? i am not sure .
this is on RAID set up.
will not seperating my tables and indexes to seperate tablespace
help me ?
guide me Cary.it's really urgent.
i am novice DBA.
