Disk I/O and the Shared Pool
The shared SQL area contains the Pcode versions of all of the
current SQL commands that haven’t been aged out of the shared pool.
Numerous statistics are available via the v$sqlarea DPT. The text of
SQL statements in the shared pool can be retrieved (at least the
first tens of bytes) from the v$sqltext and v$sqlarea DPTs. Let’s
look at a report that displays the SQL statements in the SQL area
with the greatest number of disk reads (these will probably be the
ones you will want to review and tune). Look at the report in Source
13.10. Output from this report is shown in Listing 13.11.

By tuning those statements that show large numbers of disk reads,
the overall performance of the application is increased.
