Hi, The question is regarding (Remote Diagnostics Assistant; Metalink Note: 314422.1) Oracle Support provides to troubleshoot performance issues in a database {RDA} and the calculation of the "Top SQL Report" More specifically, I am curious how the following ratios are deemed "Expected Respose Time (in Seconds)" From v$sqlarea: { (disk_reads/executions)/50 } { (buffer_gets/executions)/500 } Also, what is the significance of the numbers 50 and 500 respectively? Queries used in the report: select sql_text, executions, disk_reads / decode(executions,0,1, executions) / 50 from v$sqlarea where disk_reads / decode(executions,0,1, executions) / 50 > 100 order by executions desc; select sql_text, executions, buffer_gets / decode(executions,0,1, executions) / 500 from v$sqlarea where buffer_gets/ decode(executions,0,1, executions) / 500 > 100 order by executions desc; Thanks, Sri -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
