8.206 V$EQ_MESSAGE_CACHE_STAT

V$EQ_MESSAGE_CACHE_STAT displays statistics about memory management for Transactional Event Queues (TEQs) in the Streams pool within the System Global Area (SGA). TEQs use the Streams pool in units of event queue partitions. Thus, columns of this view shows statistics at the event queue partition level. This view shows statistics across all TEQs.

Column Datatype Description

NUM_EVICTED

NUMBER

Number of evicted event queue partitions across all TEQs

NUM_PREFETCHED

NUMBER

Number of event queue partitions pre-fetched by an AQ background process

NUM_UNEVICTION

NUMBER

Number of event queue partitions unevicted by a foreground process, such as the dequeue process

NUM_UNCACHED

NUMBER

Number of event queue partitions stored as uncached

NUM_TRACKED

NUMBER

Number of event queue partitions which are actively tracking dequeue rates

NUM_CACHED

NUMBER

Number of event queue partitions stored as cached

MAX_SUBSH_SIZE

NUMBER

Maximum event queue partition size seen till now, in terms of number of messages per event queue partition

MIN_SUBSH_SIZE

NUMBER

Minimum event queue partition size seen till now, in terms of number of messages per event queue partition

MEAN_SUBSH_SIZE

NUMBER

Mean event queue partition size seen till now, in terms of number of messages per event queue partition

AVG_EVICTION_RATE

NUMBER

Average number of event queue partitions evicted per second

AVG_LOAD_RATE

NUMBER

Average number of event queue partitions pre-fetched or unevicted per second

AVG_EVICTION_TIME

NUMBER

Average time taken to evict one event queue partition (in milliseconds)

AVG_LOAD_TIME

NUMBER

Average time taken to un-evict one event queue partition (in milliseconds)

AVG_MISS_RATIO

NUMBER

Average ratio of number of foreground un-evictions versus background pre-fetch

AVG_THRASH_RATIO

NUMBER

Average ratio of number of event queue partitions pre-fetched by background without dequeue attempt versus total number of event queue partitions prefetched

MANDATORY_AFF_SWITCH_ATTEMPTS

NUMBER

An affinity switch is a change in dequeue instance for a TEQ-subscriber pair. A mandatory affinity switch is when there are local enqueues in the queue at the instance but no local dequeues present, so the dequeue affinity is switched to another instance for that TEQ-subscriber pair. This column shows the number of times mandatory affinity switches were attempted across all instances. Populated at the smallest instance ID only.

OPTIONAL_AFF_SWITCH_ATTEMPTS

NUMBER

Optional affinity switches are affinity switches that are not mandatory. Optional affinity switches are done for global load balancing across the Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) database. This column shows the number of times optional affinity switches were attempted across all instances. Populated at the smallest instance ID only.

MIN_EVICT_PERCENT

NUMBER

Percentage of streams_pool memory beyond which event queue partition eviction is triggered

LAST_AVG_CACHED_HORIZON

NUMBER

Last average number of cached event queue partitions seen in TEQ memory manager horizon

LAST_AVG_MEMORY_HORIZON

NUMBER

Last average memory of cached event queue partitions seen in TEQ memory manager horizon

LAST_AVG_SUBSHARD_HORIZON

NUMBER

Last average number of event queue partitions seen in TEQ memory manager horizon

LAST_LEEWAY_SHIFT

NUMBER

Internal leeway for memory threshold

AVG_OPTTIME_DRIFT

NUMBER

Average drift of opt_time for all event queue partitions. A drift is defined as a difference between opt_time as set on an event queue partition and the actual time at which an event queue partition is first dequeueed after prefetch/uneviction.

NUM_THRESHOLD_DRIFT

NUMBER

Number of times drift value has gone over threshold time. A typical threshold time can be horizon_time/2.

MAX_OPT_TIME_DRIFT

NUMBER

Maximum drift until now

MIN_OPT_TIME_DRIFT

NUMBER

Minimum drift until now

AVG_OPT_TIME_ERROR

NUMBER

An opt_time error occurs when a cached event queue partition is unevicted by a foreground process (instead of being prefetched by the AQ background). Thus, opt_time error is the difference between the actual opt_time set for an event queue partition and the absolute time at which foreground unevicts the same event queue partition. This column represents the average time of this error.

MAX_OPT_TIME_ERROR

NUMBER

Maximum opt_time error

MIN_OPT_TIME_ERROR

NUMBER

Minimum opt_time error

NUM_FG_RELOADED

NUMBER

Number of event stream partitions reloaded from disk into message cache by foreground processes

NUM_PRERELOADED

NUMBER

Number of event stream partitions reloaded from disk into message cache in advance by background processes

AVG_RELOAD_TIME

NUMBER

Average time to reload an event stream partition from disk into message cache (in milliseconds)

CON_ID

NUMBER

The ID of the container to which the data pertains. Possible values include:

  • 0: This value is used for rows containing data that pertain to the entire CDB. This value is also used for rows in non-CDBs.

  • 1: This value is used for rows containing data that pertain to only the root

  • n: Where n is the applicable container ID for the rows containing data

Note:

This view is available starting with Oracle Database 21c.
