Yikes, you want to see a high number of waits?

Subject: High db file sequential reads

Hi Everybody!
=20

I've been administering a system lately that's used almost exclusively for Oracle Financials and one of the things that Oracle Financials does every well is hide what it's doing. Oh, sure, you can poke around in v$sql but that doesn't really do much for you. So I've been rather dependent on statspack (lovely thing) and from there I can see what's eating up time and analyze the structure and, as needed, apply indexes to the tables. There's not really much more you can do than that as you have no access to the underlying queries, and, even if you did, you sure couldn't change anything, database parameters aside, of course. That being said, these percentages seem out of whack to me... what do you think? =20
