Oracle HowTo:如何强制刷新Buffer Cache
很多时候,为了排除Cache对于测试的影响,我们常常需要手动刷新Buffer Cache,以促使Oracle重新执行物理访问。我曾经在使用 db_file_multiblock_read_count测试Oracle在不同系统中的IO能力一文中用到这个方法,在Itpub上也有朋友问到,今天整理一下并作简要说明。
在Oracle9i里,Oracle提供了一个内部事件,用以强制刷新Buffer Cache,其语法为:
alter session set events 'immediate trace name flush_cache level 1';
或者:
alter session set events = 'immediate trace name flush_cache';
类似的也可以使用alter system系统级设置:
alter system set events = 'immediate trace name flush_cache';
在Oracle10g中,Oracle提供一个新的特性,可以通过如下命令刷新Buffer Cache:
alter system flush buffer_cache;
我们通过试验来看一下刷新Cache的作用:
1.创建测试表
SQL> create table t as select * from dba_objects;
Table created.
SQL> analyze table t compute statistics;
Table analyzed.
SQL> select blocks,empty_blocks from dba_tables
2 where table_name='T' and owner='SYS';
BLOCKS EMPTY_BLOCKS
---------- ------------
78 1
表T共有79个Block.
2. x$bh
SQL> select count(*) from x$bh;
COUNT(*)
----------
14375
SQL> select count(*) from x$bh where state=0; -- state =0 is free
COUNT(*)
----------
13960
SQL> alter system set events = 'immediate trace name flush_cache';
System altered.
SQL> select count(*) from x$bh where state=0;
COUNT(*)
----------
14375
我们注意到flush_cache以后,所有Buffer都被标记为free.
3. 观察flush_cache对于查询的影响
SQL> set autotrace trace stat
SQL> select count(*) from t;
Statistics
----------------------------------------------------------
0 recursive calls
0 db block gets
81 consistent gets
79 physical reads
0 redo size
....
SQL>
SQL> select count(*) from t;
Statistics
----------------------------------------------------------
0 recursive calls
0 db block gets
81 consistent gets
0 physical reads
0 redo size
....
SQL> alter system set events = 'immediate trace name flush_cache';
System altered.
SQL> select count(*) from t;
Statistics
----------------------------------------------------------
0 recursive calls
0 db block gets
81 consistent gets
79 physical reads
0 redo size
....
SQL>
以上说明仅供参考。
