3 Describe the hit ratio as it pertains to the database buffers. What is the difference between instantaneous and cumulative hit ratio; which should be used for tuning?
Ans: Hit ratio is a measure of how many times the database was able to read a value from the buffers versus how many times it had to re-read a data value from the disks.
A value greater than 80-90% is good, less could indicate problems. If you take the ratio of existing parameters this will be a cumulative value since the database started. If you do a comparison between pairs of readings based on some arbitrary time span, this is the instantaneous ratio for that time span.
Generally speaking, an instantaneous reading gives more valuable data since it will tell you what your instance is doing for the time it was generated over.
