Learn the mysteries of how Oracle RAC Cache Fusion works. Cache Fusion is the secret to making Oracle RAC a scalable database platform. You will learn how cache fusion works, the differences between global cache current and consistent read transfers, the differences between two-way and three-way transfers and the associated wait events.
Oracle Ace and author Brian Peasland provides an in-depth demonstration of global cache transfers in action by utilizing Oracle Trace and session statistics (v$sesstat and v$statname).
Prerequisites: Knowledge of Oracle Architecture including the concept of an Oracle instance, the buffer cache, how data is moved into the buffer cache and an understanding of wait events.
