Of course it is also natural that anything having to do with the CUBS waits
forever. Isn't there some sort of goat involved?

 But, once I find such statements I'd check to see if they are
accessing/manipulating tables within the CUBS_DATA tablespace, and then use
"select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_awr('sql-id'))" to get the execution
plan(s), and then look for something ineffective within the execution plan.

Certain tablespaces (cubs_data) have far more buffer waits, compared to
others, even others(uworks_misc_index) with a higher amount of reads and
writes.

 

Our datafiles for each of the tablespaces are equally distributed across 3
volumes on a SAN.  

 

How can i interpret the buffer waits and explain them in order to
potentially identify a problem?
