    Can db_cache_advice be used in Oracle8i?

    Hello,

    I have a performance problem with Oracle8i (v8.1.7.4.9) (Import goes very slow and cpu is idle most of the time).

    To find out what's wrong, I try the v$db_cache_advice, but the data isn't populated yet.

    Statement:
    select SIZE_FOR_ESTIMATE "Cache size (MB)",
    BUFFERS_FOR_ESTIMATE "Buffers",
    ESTD_PHYSICAL_READ_FACTOR,
    ESTD_PHYSICAL_READS
    from v$db_cache_advice
    where name='DEFAULT' ;


    The columns ESTD_PHYSICAL_READ_FACTOR & ESTD_PHYSICAL_READS are empty. In Oracle9i you first must enable the system (alter system set db_cache_advice on). But when I look in tahiti.oracle.com I cannot find anything about this. Even the view v$db_cache_advice is not known.

    Is this a hidden and not working feature in Oracle8i?
    If not, can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks in advance,

    Erik
