C.9.10. Oracle::Library Cache

The Oracle::Library Cache probe computes the Library Cache Miss Ratio so as to optimize the

SHARED_POOL_SIZE in

init.ora

. It collects the following metrics:

•

Library Cache Miss Ratio — The rate a library cache pin miss occurs. This will happen when a

session executes a statement that it has already parsed but finds that the statement is no longer in

the shared pool.

•

Executions — The number of times a pin was requested for objects of this namespace.

•

Cache Misses — The number of pins of objects with previous pins since the object handle was

created that must now retrieve the object from disk.
