Overall Instance Response Time Chart

This shows the overall response time for the specified operations in the current Oracle instance. The response times that make up the overall response time are:

Data Description

Parse Time

The time taken to prepare SQL statements for execution against the Oracle database.

Latch Wait Time

The time taken for a session to acquire a latch that is held by another session.

Direct Read Time

The time taken to read data directly from disk, bypassing the buffer cache.

Direct Write Time

The time taken to write data directly to disk, bypassing the buffer cache.

Physical Read Time

The time taken to read blocks of data from disk to the SGA.

Physical Write Time

The time taken to write modified blocks from the SGA to disk by the DBWR processes.

CPU Time

The rate of CPU time used by the database.

Note: Available for Oracle 10g and later.

Other Time

(Oracle 10g and later) This is the sum of DB time and background elapsed time excluding those series shown on the chart.

Memory Allocation History Chart

Note: Available for Oracle 10g and later.

Memory History shows all recent changes to memory allocation in the current Oracle instance. The chart contains data series for these memory components:

Data Description

Buffer cache

An area in the SGA (System Global Area) that contains copies of blocks from database files. The buffer cache exists primarily to reduce disk I/O.

Large pool

The Large pool shows the size of the large pool allocation heap, which can be used by parallel execution and backup processes, and session memory for MTS sessions.

Note: If the Large pool is not configured, these large memory requests are redirected to use the Shared pool.

Other

All memory components not already covered by another category. (Java pool, for example.)

PGA

Program Global Area. A dynamic area of memory that stores data and control information for a dedicated Oracle server process or background process.

Shared pool

The Shared pool caches SQL statements, PL/SQL programs, and object definitions.
