Buffer Hit Ratio

Consistent Gets – The number of accesses made to the block buffer to retrieve data in a consistent mode.
DB Blk Gets – The number of blocks accessed via single block gets (i.e. not through the consistent get mechanism).
Physical Reads – The cumulative number of blocks read from disk.
Logical reads are the sum of consistent gets and db block gets.
The db block gets statistic value is incremented when a block is read for update and when segment header blocks are accessed.

Hit Ratio should be > 80%, else increase DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS in init.ora

select sum(decode(NAME, 'consistent gets',VALUE, 0)) "Consistent Gets",
 sum(decode(NAME, 'db block gets',VALUE, 0)) "DB Block Gets",

 round((sum(decode(name, 'consistent gets',value, 0)) +
 sum(decode(name, 'db block gets',value, 0)) -
 sum(decode(name, 'physical reads',value, 0))) /
 (sum(decode(name, 'consistent gets',value, 0)) +
 sum(decode(name, 'db block gets',value, 0))) * 100,2) "Hit Ratio"

Is the Oracle buffer hit ratio a useless metric for monitoring and tuning? – Bur

Data Dictionary Hit Ratio

Gets – Total number of requests for information on the data object.
Cache Misses – Number of data requests resulting in cache misses

Hit Ratio should be > 90%, else increase SHARED_POOL_SIZE in init.ora

select sum(GETS),
 sum(GETMISSES),
 round((1 - (sum(GETMISSES) / sum(GETS))) * 100,2)

SQL Cache Hit Ratio

Pins – The number of times a pin was requested for objects of this namespace.
Reloads – Any pin of an object that is not the first pin performed since the object handle was created, and which requires loading the object from disk.

Hit Ratio should be > 85%

select sum(PINS) Pins,
 sum(RELOADS) Reloads,
 round((sum(PINS) - sum(RELOADS)) / sum(PINS) * 100,2) Hit_Ratio
from v$librarycache

Library Cache Miss Ratio

Executions – The number of times a pin was requested for objects of this namespace.
Cache Misses – Any pin of an object that is not the first pin performed since the object handle was created, and which requires loading the object from disk.

Hit Ratio should be < 1%, else increase SHARED_POOL_SIZE in init.ora

select sum(PINS) Executions,
 sum(RELOADS) cache_misses,
 sum(RELOADS) / sum(PINS) miss_ratio
from v$librarycache
