Oracle Hit/Miss Ratios

Hit/Miss Ratios

Here are some scripts related to Hit/Miss Ratios .

Buffer Hit Ratio

BUFFER HIT RATIO NOTES:

• Consistent Gets - The number of accesses made to the block buffer to retrieve data in a consistent mode.
• DB Blk Gets - The number of blocks accessed via single block gets (i.e. not through the consistent get mechanism).
• Physical Reads - The cumulative number of blocks read from disk.

   

• Logical reads are the sum of consistent gets and db block gets.
• The db block gets statistic value is incremented when a block is read for update and when segment header blocks are accessed.
• Hit Ratio should be > 80%, else increase DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS in init.ora

   

  select 	sum(decode(NAME, 'consistent gets',VALUE, 0)) "Consistent Gets",
  	sum(decode(NAME, 'db block gets',VALUE, 0)) "DB Block Gets",
  	sum(decode(NAME, 'physical reads',VALUE, 0)) "Physical Reads",
  	round((sum(decode(name, 'consistent gets',value, 0)) + 
  	       sum(decode(name, 'db block gets',value, 0)) - 
  	       sum(decode(name, 'physical reads',value, 0))) / 
  	      (sum(decode(name, 'consistent gets',value, 0)) + 
  	       sum(decode(name, 'db block gets',value, 0))) * 100,2) "Hit Ratio"
  from   v$sysstat
  
  

  Data Dict Hit Ratio

  DATA DICTIONARY HIT RATIO NOTES:

• Gets - Total number of requests for information on the data object.
• Cache Misses - Number of data requests resulting in cache misses

   

• Hit Ratio should be > 90%, else increase SHARED_POOL_SIZE in init.ora

   

  select 	sum(GETS),
  	sum(GETMISSES),
  	round((1 - (sum(GETMISSES) / sum(GETS))) * 100,2)
  from 	v$rowcache
  
  

  SQL Cache Hit Ratio

  SQL CACHE HIT RATIO NOTES:

• Pins - The number of times a pin was requested for objects of this namespace.
• Reloads - Any pin of an object that is not the first pin performed since the object handle was created, and which requires loading the object from disk.

   

• Hit Ratio should be > 85%

   

  select 	sum(PINS) Pins,
  	sum(RELOADS) Reloads,
  	round((sum(PINS) - sum(RELOADS)) / sum(PINS) * 100,2) Hit_Ratio
  from 	v$librarycache
  
  

  Library Cache Miss Ratio

  LIBRARY CACHE MISS RATIO NOTES:

• Executions - The number of times a pin was requested for objects of this namespace.
• Cache Misses - Any pin of an object that is not the first pin performed since the object handle was created, and which requires loading the object from disk.

   

• Hit Ratio should be < 1%, else increase SHARED_POOL_SIZE in init.ora

   

  select 	sum(PINS) Executions,
  	sum(RELOADS) cache_misses,
  	sum(RELOADS) / sum(PINS) miss_ratio
  from 	v$librarycache
