Re: Re: same sql: different db block gets in different oracle version
Jonathan Lewis, Thanks very much for your reply. Yes, in oracle 8i on sun solaris, the db block gets of fulltable scan is always 4block, no matter what the size of the table is. But in my tests in linux/817, it always show 12(8170 and 8172).I run the full scan again and again, but the value does not change. And another problem is why in oracle9i, there is no db_block_gets when doing full segment scan.I checked asktom.oracle.com, but unable to find the answer. And i also tested 9.0.1 on sun solaris , when very small, db_block_gets is 6,while larger tables(12K records from dba_tables), db_block_gets is 12. Scanning the segment header caused the current mode read,is it because of scanning the buffer pool head and getting the cache buffer chains latch in exclusive mode,and the buffer head will be moved the other end lru list? why scanning the other data block does not cause the current read? Sorry, I asked to much, and maybe they are meanless, but if possible, I still want to know. Sony kristanto, what kind of parameters do you think will affect the db_block_gets? I will post them.

I can't tell you why you have 12 current gets rather than 4 - but if the tests aren't identical, the physical reads and extra current gets may be related to delayed cleanout on a first read.

Re: Re: same sql: different db block gets in different oracle version
One reason for seeing more db_block_gets than you expect on a full segment scan is that every extent map block (of which the segment header block is just one) is accessed differently. If you have small extents and large objects, you may have overshoot the maximum extents allowed in the segment header block - so the 12 db_block_gets could indicate 2 extra map blocks. NOTE - Oracle 9 simply does not do 4 CU gets on map blocks. 8.14 CU gets per map block 9.22 CR gets per map block 9.02 gets, but can't remember if they are CU or CR Also - bigger tables = more map blocks may have been used Regards Jonathan Lewis http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk Coming soon a new one-day tutorial: Cost Based Optimisation (see http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/tutorial.html ) Next Seminar dates: (see http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/seminar.html ) England__January 21/23 USA_(CA, TX)_August The Co-operative Oracle Users' FAQ http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/ind_faq.html -Original Message- To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 22 January 2003 15:47 version Jonathan Lewis, Thanks very much for your reply.
