Oracle maintains its own buffer cache inside the system global area (SGA) for each instance. A properly sized buffer cache can usually yield a cache hit ratio over 90%, meaning that nine requests out of ten are satisfied without going to disk. If a buffer cache is too small, the cache ...
Every column defined to a DB2 table must be designated as either allowing or disallowing nulls. A column is defined as nullable – meaning it can be set to NULL – in the table creation DDL. Null is the default if nothing is specified after the column name. To prohibit the column from ...
The first time an Oracle Database user process requires a particular piece of data, it searches for the data in the database buffer cache.If the process finds the data already in the cache (a cache hit),it can read the data directly from memory.If the process cannot find the data in ...
member of the JavaTMplatform. The intent is that the core classes for the Java platform, at minimum, are available on all operating systems where the Java platform runs. A program that is written entirely in the Java programming language relies only on core classes, meaning it can run ...
buffer cache is to minimizephysical io. When ablockis read by Oracle, it places this block into the buffer cache, because there is a chance that this block is needed again. Reading a block from the buffer cache is less costly (in terms of time) than reading it from the disk. ...

buffer cache is to minimize physical io. When a block is read by Oracle, it places this block into the buffer cache, because there is a chance that this block is needed again. Reading a block from the buffer cache is less costly (in terms of time) than ...
