Hi Guys,


from buffer gets of sql can find amount of buffer cache used by query

(like "buffer gets * blocksize=buffer cache usage" makes sense)


or any query to find buffer cache used by particular sqlid


Thanks

What if the query uses one buffer and gets it a zillion times? What if the gets are from a direct read, which doesn't use cache at all?

What do you do differently after you have the desired number?

Will the number always be the same?
Will the number depend upon what other sessions are doing & if they requires some or all the same blocks?

What does above mean?
Quantify helpful?
How is helpful measured?

Post specific examples of pointers.

simple question:
query to find buffer cache used by particular sqlid

WHY?
What do you do with this number after you have it?

I'm no sure that the question has an answer. The buffer cache is shared, it isn't assigned to particular queries. What is important is how much PGA the statement needs and uses. That you can see in v$sql_workarea: the amount needed to run optimally or one-pass.

Thanks

ok,

actually if can find buffer cache used by particular sqlid,then i can plan and avoid running not so important at peak load time
which significantly use buffer cache ,as currently db showing high cpu,io

SQL is the SGA is a shared resource.
data blocks in the buffer cache are NOT directly related to any specific SQL statement or any schema.
Do you realize & understand that Oracle manages buffer caches such that it is always 100% full?

Post SQL & results that show a problem that needs to be solved.

yes true but if not required query fetching large amount of rows could occupy buffer cache till completion of execution impacting others like wait,or disk reads due to non availability of buffer cache /blocks

Post SQL & results that show above to be true

IMO, your imagination exceeds your technical knowledge.

Are your users telephoning you to complain about "db showing high cpu,io"? If not, what are they complaining about? You have to focus on a problem. A business problem. Not on some arbitrary figure (specially not a figure that doesn't exist).

lets say qry1 run every 1 hr is important to run,qry2 run sometimes and not so important but fetch large data,due to qry2 execution and using buffer cache will qry1 be impacted,if so i can plan to run qry2 different non peak time

Oracle does NOT behave as you imagine it does.

Consider to actual Read The Fine Manual below

Just a remark: I didn't post anything in this topic so why do you want to block me?
How am I frustrating, post evidences?
And what I can see in your previous topics is that I tried to help you.
And what I can see in your previous topics is that you don't (really) thank people for spending time to help you (which is quite painful as far as I can see).
