    Hi,

    When users start complaining about the db performance what are the key areas we need to look other than db hit ratios.

    Also can somebody give me some guide lines to pro-actively monitor the database.

    Thanks

    Please check the V$ACCESS dynamic performance view to see what are the current database objects accessed and also query the dynamic performance view V$SQLAREA to see what the current sql running in the SGA and then proceed accrodingly.

    1st goal and usually most significant performance gain is to Tune SQL.
    Once you have eliminated all of the impossible,
    whatever remains however improbable,
    must be true.

    As Sureshy says the best performance gains will come from tuning your SQL code. If you are looking at overall performance it may be advisable to run statspack on the DB for a couple of hours to give you a generally overview of potential problem areas.

    As jovery has said, statspack is an excellent performance and bottleneck indicator. Another good thing about statspack is that you will be shown the top ten most resource consuming sql statements.

    whatever remains however improbable,
