Hello all,

I'm looking at the view dba_hist_sqlstat and I'm seeing oddities - specifically in the columns

PHYSICAL_READ_REQUESTS_DELTA
DISK_READS_DELTA


I'm seeing sql_ids with a zero in the read requests value, but showing non-zero disk reads.

What am I missing?

To save time, here are the documentation notes on the columns:

PHYSICAL_READ_REQUESTS_DELTA
NUMBER
Delta value of number of physical read I/O requests issued by the monitored SQL


DISK_READS_DELTA
NUMBER
Delta number of disk reads for this child cursor


I wonder if the key is "monitored" SQL - I know that not all is, but regardless it's counter intuitive to me to explain how this is reading from disk, yet doing so with zero requests...

Any help/pointers would be appreciated, as always.

Thanks, but it's not the read bytes I'm worried about for now, it's the io requests. The storage systems are not at bandwidth capacity, but they are drowning under request volume i.e. lots and lots and lots of small I/O requests.

I want to identify sql candidates to consider for possible tuning to help reduce this load or at least avoid certain items running concurrently - however since I'm seeing confusing data (at least to me, I'm sure there's a reason) in the dba_hist_* tables, this makes me doubt any analysis coming out.

As background I picked what I thought would be a likely contender - a query firing in excess of a million times per hour, with minimal data reuse and using all single block reads. However, said sql_id shows ~10 disc reads per exe, but 0 physical read requests per exe, hence my question Smile

Whenever in doubt you can take two snapshots of gv$bh which has a row for each buffer in the buffer cache. The difference is the physical reads.

Sometimes what is hogging memory will cause important objects to get LRU and force more I/O. Usually big tables in memory can be reduced by creating an index.

I also look at the average elapsed time because some of the contentions disk read sql's have longer I/O waits.
