What can you conclude based on this ratio?

You work as a DBA and have the responsibility of managing a large online transaction processing
(OLTP) system. You used the following query during the performance tuning activity:
SQL> SELECT (1-((phy.value-phyd.value) / (cur.value + con.value))) * 100
2 “Cache Hit ratio”
3 FROM v$sysstat cur, v$sysstat con, v$sysstat phy, v$sysstat phyd
4 WHERE cur.name = ‘db block gets’
5 AND con.name = ‘consistent gets’
6 AND phy.name = ‘physical reads’
7 AND phyd.name = ‘physical reads direct’;
Cache Hit Ratio
—————98.43

What can you conclude based on this ratio?

A.
The database performance is very good because of reduced logical I/Os.

B.
The database performance cannot be determined based only on this ratio.

C.
Good database performance is guaranteed because very few physical I/Os are performed.

D.
The database performance is very good because most of the requested data blocks are found
in the buffer cache.

you can NOT just determine the db performance by only looking at this ratio

So B is right
