Catalog Cache Hit Rate 70% - Cache Settings

Dear all,

once more we struggle with a catalog cache hit rate around 70%, which is
really bad, if I look in the list.

Our machine is
- Processor: Intel Pentium IV - 3 Ghz
- Memory: 2 Gb RAM
- OS: Debian Linux

MaxDB Settings:
- Version: 7.5.00.16

- Data Volume: 16 Gb, filled with 28%
- Log Volume: 4 Gb,

- CACHE_SIZE: 25.000 Pages ( 200 Kb)
- CAT_CACHE_SUPPLY: 128.000 Pages (1.024 Kb)

- MAXUSERTASKS: 100

Cache Hitrates:
- Data Cache: 99,65%
- Catalog Cache: 69,64%

Application:

Perl application using ODBC-connection. One special character of the
application is, that in some specific tables inserts and deletes of
around 200.000 datasets per table per day are done (approx. 6 tables).

The other parts of the application contains slowly growing tables.

In the past I've heard something about a "ping" method which could leed
to bad Catalog Cache hitrates like this.

Perhaps someone can give us some hints about the "best" Cache Settings.

Thanks and
best regards

    Hannes
