    Hello,

    as I have understand it is a best practice to monitor SQL Performance counters.
    Cache Hit Ration should have a value near to 99%. When I monitor this value for a 800Gb database over here (200 users) it remains at a value of 68.9%.
    When I zoom the drop from 100% seems to be related to the Cache Managers value for Execution Contexts which is at 36,6%.
    What might be causing this and how to solve it?

    Perfmon shows:


    SQLServer:Cachemanager _Total Cursors Execution Contexts Misc. Normalized Trees Prepared Plans
    -Cache Hit Ratio 68,924 99,958 36,663 90,357 99,978
    -Cache object Counts 26513 1405 8825 3 13981

    Thanks!

    May be you are confused with Buffer Cache Hit Ratio. This one should be near 99%.
    In my clients I never see Cache Hit Ratio more than 70%.
