Data Buffer Pool Parameters

This class of hidden parameters controls the internal workings of the RAM data buffers.  The most frequently-used parameters for the data buffers include:

* _db_percent_hot_keep – This is the percent of KEEP buffer pool that should be considered hot                                     

* _db_aging_hot_criteria – This is based in the x$bh.tch (touch count) which sends a buffer to head of replacement list
