Hi Everybody!
 
I've been administering a system lately that's used almost exclusively
for Oracle Financials and one of the things that Oracle Financials does
every well is hide what it's doing.  Oh, sure, you can poke around in
v$sql but that doesn't really do much for you.  So I've been rather
dependent on statspack (lovely thing) and from there I can see what's
eating up time and analyze the structure and, as needed, apply indexes
to the tables.  There's not really much more you can do than that as you
have no access to the underlying queries, and, even if you did, you sure
couldn't change anything, database parameters aside, of course.  That
being said, these percentages seem out of whack to me... what do you
think?

Has anyone successfully gotten db file sequential reads into any kind of
sane range for any period of time?
 
Thanks folks!
Bambi.
