Purpose

Displays the specified attributes for active databases.

Syntax

DESCRIBE DATABASE

Usage Notes

The attributes for the DESCRIBE DATABASE command include the following:

  • name: The database name.

  • asmClusterName: The name of the associated ASM cluster. This attribute is populated when ASM-scoped security is configured.

  • databaseID: The unique identifier for the database.

  • flashCacheLimit: Specifies the amount of flash cache space that is available to the database. The value is a soft limit, so the database may consume more space if the flash cache is not full.

  • flashCacheMin: Specifies the minimum amount of flash cache space that is guaranteed for the database.

  • flashCacheSize: Specifies the maximum amount of flash cache space that is available to the database. The value is a hard limit that cannot be exceeded at any time.

  • iormDiskLimit: Specifies the I/O utilization limit for the database, expressed as a percentage of the available disk resources.

  • iormDiskShare: Specifies the relative share of disk I/O resources that is available to the database. A higher share value implies higher priority and more access to the I/O resources.

  • iormFlashLimit: Specifies the I/O utilization limit for the database, expressed as a percentage of the available flash resources.

  • iormFlashShare: Specifies the relative share of flash I/O resources that is available to the database. A higher share value implies higher priority and more access to the I/O resources.

  • lastRequestTime: The time stamp of the last request from the database.

  • pmemCacheLimit: Specifies the amount of PMEM cache space that is available to the database. The value is a soft limit, so the database may consume more space if the PMEM cache is not full.

  • pmemCacheMin: Specifies the minimum amount of PMEM cache space that is guaranteed for the database.

  • pmemCacheSize: Specifies the maximum amount of PMEM cache space that is available to the database. The value is a hard limit that cannot be exceeded at any time.

  • profile: The IORM profile associated with the database.

  • xrmemCacheLimit: Specifies the amount of XRMEM cache space that is available to the database. The value is a soft limit, so the database may consume more space if the XRMEM cache is not full.

  • xrmemCacheMin: Specifies the minimum amount of XRMEM cache space that is guaranteed for the database.

  • xrmemCacheSize: Specifies the maximum amount of XRMEM cache space that is available to the database. The value is a hard limit that cannot be exceeded at any time.
