Buffer Pool Statistics

The next section of the AWRRPTreport deals with the db buffer cache area. If a system utilizes more than one cache area, such as multiple blocksizes, RECYCLE, and KEEP, there will be a section for that information that pertains to the specialized areas. If the multiple cache features are not being used, only the default cache will be reported. The following listing shows an example from the report:

Buffer Pool Statistics  DB/Inst: SSD/ssd2  Snaps: 3-4
-> Standard block size Pools  D: default,  K: keep,  R: recycle
-> Default Pools for other block sizes: 2k, 4k, 8k, 16k, 32k

This database has a 100% hit ratio and the advisor report indicates that the physical memory size would have to be nearly doubled to make only a 5% change in I/O. This is expected from a fully cached environment. Physical reads and writes are present in this section since this is an OLTP environment being modeled.  Many transactions are doing UPDATE and DELETE type activity, as well as INSERTs which cause cache replacement and flushes. There are also buffer busy waits, which were probably caused by enqueueactivity associated with transactions needing the same rows.
