    Unhappy

    i have a disk contention, the ratios in the database as well, but a physical disk is 100% busy, sqlplus send me a next message

    Monitor the sorts in memory vs disk. Try to keep the disk/memory ratio to less than .10 by increasin

    i think there are too many sorts (disk), the sorts are


    sorts (memory) 274045
    sorts (disk) 310

    how can i detect wich user is doing the sorts.

    the next step is increse the parameters SORT_AREA_SIZE.

    SELECT N.NAME, S.STATISTIC#, S.SID, S.VALUE FROM V$STATNAME N, V$SESSTAT S WHERE
    N.STATISTIC# IN(SELECT STATISTIC# FROM V$STATNAME WHERE NAME LIKE 'sort%') AND
    S.STATISTIC#=N.STATISTIC#;

    I don't think your real problems for disk contention are disk sorts. From the above figures, your ratio of disk_sorts/memory_sorts is 0.1%, which *usually* should not cause obvious performance degradation...

    You should check other areas of possible causes of disk contention, mainly physical db_datafiles and redo/arch_log_files layout....
