Definition

The total number of GETPAGE operations minus the number of pages read from DASD (both synchronously and using prefetch), divided by the total number of GETPAGE operations, and multiplied by 100.

The highest possible hit ratio is 100%, that is, when every page requested is always in the buffer pool. If the requested page is not in the buffer pool, the hit ratio is 0% or less. If the hit ratio is negative, this means that prefetch brought pages into the buffer pool that are not subsequently referenced, either because the query stops before it reaches the end of the table space, or because the prefetched pages are stolen by DB2 for reuse before the query can access them.
