Hi. I have noticed that the number of free db buffers in my bd cache is pretty low. Based on this query
select decode(state,0,'Free',1,decode lrba_seq,0,'Available','Being Used'), 'Being Used',state) "Block Status", count(*) from x$bh group by decode(state,0,'Free',1,decode(lrba_seq,0,'Available','Being Used'), 3,'Being Used',state) I see 36000 available buffers and about 1000 being used. I don't have any complaints about performance (yet) and I know that too many free buffers indicates that the db_cache is too big. Is there the minimum number of free buffers that I would need to keep or can I just ignore it. TIA Gene __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
