Oracle Wait Events:read by other session

read by other session是在Oracle Database 10g中，引入的一个新事件，此前版本，这个事件在Buffer Busy Wait中记录。



根据文档，这个事件的解释如下：

This event occurs when a session requests a buffer that is currently being read into the buffer cache

by another session. Prior to release 10.1, waits for this event were grouped with the other reasons for

waiting for buffers under the 'buffer busy wait' event

这个等待也就是说明数据库存在读的竞争，所以该等待事件通常和db file sequential read或db file scattered read 同时出现。
