Biographical dictionaries &mdash a type of encyclopedicdictionary limited to biographical information &mdash have been written in many languages. Many attempt to cover the major personalities of a country with limitations, such as living persons only, in Marquis Who s Who Who s Who , or deceased people only, in the Dictionary of National Biography . Others are specialized, in that they cover important names in a subject field, such as architecture or engineering. The quality of biographical dictionaries varies. Most are long established and authoritative, but some are simply schemes for flattering biographees into paying for commemorative copies of the publication. Anyone who receives an invitation to be included in a biographical dictionary should check the publication carefully.

Dictionary Cache The Oracle data dictionary is a collection of database tables, owned by the SYS and SYSTEM schemas, that contain the metadata about the database, its structures, the privileges and roles of database users. The data dictionary cache holds cached blocks from the data dictionary. Data blocks from tables in the data dictionary are used continually to assist in processing user queries and other DML commands. If the data dictionary cache is too small, requests for information from the data dictionary will cause extra I O to occur these I O bound data dictionary requests are called recursive calls and should be avoided by sizing the data dictionary cache correctly. Fast Access Oracle constantly accesses the data dictionary during database operation to validate user access and to verify the state of schema objects. All information is stored in memory using the least recently used LRU algorithm. The data dictionary cache is accessed for each SQL statement at parse time and again at runtime when the SQL gathers dynamic storage for execution. Dictionary Cache Hit Ratio The data dictionary cache hit ratio is used to measure the ratio of dictionary hits to misses meaning how many times dictionary cache has the dictionary tables data blocks for requested information and how many times Oracle has to do I O for missing on cache. For optimal performance, the overall dictionary cache hit ratio should be greater than 90 To monitor the efficiency of the Data Dictionary Cache, below sql statement can be used class wikitable border 1 select 1 sum getmisses sum gets sum getmisses 100 Dictionary Hit Rate from v rowcache A figure of between 90 95 should be maintained if the rate starts to drop, SHARED POOL SIZE should be increased Category Database stubs Category Oracle Corporation ... more details
