Dave, Benchmarking is very difficult with replication as it's very dependent on the data involved and since every db is different it makes it very hard to compare apples to apples. Tx propagation rates are pretty useless as all tx's are not equal. Is the data involved in a tx that adds a new

Srinivas: What you're looking to do is find the value of physical reads/db block gets. So, you want the value1/value2 where value1 is 'physical reads' and value2 is 'db block gets'. So, what you need to do is put the literals 'physical reads' and 'db block gets' in the where clause somehow

Srinivas, You nearly had it. You just need to wrap each decode with a SUM (the same technique used to rotate a table except you are doing division instead of displaying each column): select sum(decode(name,'physical reads',value)) / sum(decode(name,'db block gets',value)) from v$sysstat
