Well, here I have to disagree. You can set being well cached as the ultimate goal. That used to be the case for years and years. In the scientific literature, this methodology is known as "method C". (I assume that "C" stands for "Cary". I would really like to know why were methods named "C" and "R".) So, if your buffer cache hit ratio is over 95% and your shared pool hit ratio is over 99%, everything is peachy. User screams should be ignored or punished. -- Mladen Gogala A & E TV Network Ext. 1216 > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Tow [mailto:dantow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 2004 12:24 PM > To: ryan_gaffuri@xxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Should you still tune queries by LIOs? > > > There's no substitute for runtime as the ultimate target for > minimization. > -- To unsubscribe - mailto:oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx&subject=unsubscribe To search the archives - //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/
