  16. Useful onstat Options • onstat –P Buffers by Table • onstat –g tpf Actions by Thread • onstat –g ppf Actions by Table

  17. Monitoring Different Caches • Buffer Cache • Stores commonly accessed data/index pages from disk • Data Dictionary • Cache used to store commonly accessed system catalog information • Data Distributions • Cache to store update statistics medium/high data used by the optimizer to build query plans • Stored Procedure Cache • Caches stored procedure code • Extensible Caches

  18. Buffer Cache Sizing (onstat –p) Profile dskreads pagreads bufreads %cached dskwrits pagwrits bufwrits %cached 78201 141506 1538858 94.92 14480 23668 298884 95.16 • System Read Cache • Increasing buffers improves read cache rate • 90% or better is a good read cache • System Write Cache • Increasing buffers may not help the write cache • LRU parameters and CKPTINTVL greatly affect the write cache

  19. Buffer Pool Stats by Tableonstat –P • Partnum • Numeric link to objects name table/index/fragment • Total • Number of pages currently buffered for this table/fragment • Data • Number of data page currently buffered for this table/fragment partnum total btree data other dirty 1048707 10 6 2 2 0 1048710 4 1 1 2 0 1048714 3 1 1 1 0 1049081 257 0 255 2 0 1049472 5462 0 5459 3 4635 Totals: 9000 52 5747 3201 4636 Percentages: Data 72.86 Btree 25.58 Other 01.57

This gives an indication of how much work is done for each row processed • For OLTP users this ratio will be low. For DW users this ratio should be higher. • A high ratio can mean indexing or optimizer issues (isrd + iswr + isrw + isdl) / (bfr + bfw)
