    Calculating Free Buffer Wait

    Hi,
    Currently we are calculating Free Buffer Wait with following formula:
    SQL> select NAME,VALUE from V$SYSSTAT where NAME in ('free buffer inspected', 'free buffer requested');

    NAME VALUE
    -------------------------------- ------------
    free buffer requested 3194990
    free buffer inspected 3138511


    % Free Buffer Wait=
    (free buffer inspected*100)/free buffer requested

    Sometimes its going far beyond 100%(even upto >150 also).

    Is this formula correct?
    Can this be considered as a normal behavior?
    Please do let me know.

    Thanks,
    Pallavi.

    Wouldn't it be:

    % Free Buffer Wait=
    (free buffer inspected/free buffer requested )*100
    Assistance is Futile...
