Thanks Tom, sorry I neglected to copy the list on my previous email.....
Does this query make sense and is it valid for an accurate cache % hit ratio for the entire DB? I would assume I could use the same logic with other views such as pg_stat_user_tables to get a per table ratio?
SELECT 100 - round((blks_hit::numeric / (blks_hit::numeric + blks_read::numeric)) * 100,2)
AS "Cache % Hit"
FROM pg_stat_database
WHERE datname = 'Fix1';
<RETURNS>
Cache % Hit
--------------------
98.06
(1 row)
Thank you,
Tim

Try coercing to numeric instead of float. Also, it'd be a good idea to
put that coercion outside the sum()'s instead of inside --- summing
bigints is probably noticeably faster than summing numerics.
