| One more thing (so far!) I noticed that while my cached read improved, my cached writes is down about 4-5%. Any thoughts on this guys? We do a lot of datamining and we are constantly loading flat files into our production database, so any kind of write is always a worry for me! <!> onstat -p ..............

How frequently are you zeroing your statistics? On the data present, you have 600M buffer reads and 30M buffer writes. That's a fairly typical ratio. I've not had to worry too much about performance on production systems for a while (so other people with current production experience can contradict what I suggest if it is appropriate to do so), but with 20:1 ratio of reads to writes, I would not be too worried about the write cache ratio. I would be most concerned about the read cache ratio (percentage). -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2003.04 -- http://dbi.perl.org/ |

Is not mattering what write cahce is unless user compnlaining. And is more than 85% and this is good enouhg -- Enor |
