Ah yes, it's bug 3669074. I must have looked over it because it mentions 9205 and not 9204. It also includes an alternative definition for the view that seems to be correct. Thanks to Yasin, Laimutis and Goran for the replies ! mvg/regards Jo "Laimutis Nedzinskas" <Laimutis.Nedzins To kas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > cc Sent by: oracle-l-bounce@f Subject reelists.org RE: v$shared_pool_reserved 24-11-06 11:11 Please respond to Laimutis.Nedzinsk as@xxxxxxxxxxxxx It´s a known bug by Oracle - the AVG instead of sum. Or a bug of Oracle documentation if you prefer that way. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of jo_holvoet@xxxxxxxx Sent: 24. nóvember 2006 08:35 To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: v$shared_pool_reserved Hi all, 9.2.0.4 non-RAC on Solaris. In looking at v$shared_pool_reserved, specifically at request_failures, I get : Connected to: Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning option JServer Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production SQL> select request_failures from v$shared_pool_reserved; REQUEST_FAILURES ---------------- .5 How can a request only half fail ? v$fixed_view_definition defines request_failures as : avg(x$kghlu.kghlunfu) which of course doens't have to be a whole number; it just doesn't make sense to me. mvg/regards Jo AMI Semiconductor - "Silicon Solutions for the Real World" NOTICE: This electronic message contains information that may be confidential or privileged.
