This will not resolve the 'buffer busy wait' scenario.
The contention is for blocks that are already in the SGA.

Malcolm.

Hi
I would try to set the table to cache mode. It seams that the blocks are
aged out from buffer - which is default for FTS.
alter table BBN_SRVvignette cache;
to avoid reloading into cache.

Jeff,
The 3 sessions are doing the same (or similar) queries. In this case
count(*) which is forcing a full table scan of the table in each session.
The 3 sessions are thus trying to access the same blocks from the SGA, in
the same order. Only 1 session can access a block in the SGA at a time -
this is the session showing 'db file scattered read'. The other 2 sessions
need to wait for the block (these waits show as 'buffer busy waits' - ie
waiting for the block in the SGA). You will see the block id (and perhaps
the file id) changing as the FTS's progress. Thus the sessions are
'chasing' each other through the blocks - holding each other up with SGA
block contention - which shows up as 'buffer busy waits'. Hope that
explains things.
Regards,
Malcolm

We recently had a new website go live. Since then, I'm seeing constant
buffer busy waits
and after a period of time, I see sessions hung on the same block#. The
SQL query
is always a COUNT(*) (below). It's almost as though one session has a
lock
of some sort in the buffer cache and other sessions are blocked.
Although,
I've checked and
there's no DML ongoing, so I'm unsure as to why we would see this. Note
that v$session shows
78 and 393 to be INACTIVE, while 159 is ACTIVE. So it's like 159 can't
write to
the buffer cache because 78 and 393 have a lock there. Note that these
are
all defined
as persistent connections, via the Vignette front-end. I'm sure all the
clues are there
but my brain is too fuzzed to piece it together.
