However, I haven't have buffer busy wait as my tops events nor I see any session execessively waiting for this event. I have already mentioned in my previous replies that I have grabbed these values from v$segment_statistics dynamic view. The following are today's result for the buffer busy waits. TRANSACTION_LOG 211143 FM_AUDIT_FORM 39906 C_INTIMATION 37029 CIS_AUDIT_TRAILH 15001 OUTWARD_CLEARING_CHEQUES 8310 C_CUSTOMER 5793 FM_OLTP_LOG 2727 INWARD_CLEARING_CHEQUES 2347 RB_RESTRAINTS 2239 SYSTEM_PARAMETER_VALUE 1492 RB_TRAN_HIST 1102 I have increased default freelist 1 to 5 to those tables and now I can clearly see that those tables buffer busy wait event has increased madly. This could be due to heavy access on those tables? However, I have been reading Cary's book past 1 year and still I enjoying reading it. Thank god, now, I started undertanding the concept behind method R and the true power of 10046 trace for resolving performance issues.
