How does one tune Oracle Wait event XYZ?
Here are some of the wait events from V$SESSION_WAIT and V$SYSTEM_EVENT views: • db file sequential read: Tune SQL to do less I/O. Make sure all objects are analyzed. Redistribute I/O across disks. • buffer busy waits: Increase DB_CACHE_SIZE (DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS prior to 9i)/ Analyze contention from SYS.V$BH (“buffer busy waits” was replaced with “read by other session” Oracle 10g). • log buffer space: Increase LOG_BUFFER parameter or move log files to faster disks • log file sync: If this event is in the top 5, you are committing too often (talk to your developers) • log file parallel write: deals with flushing out the redo log buffer to disk. Your disks may be too slow or you have an I/O bottleneck.
