That's approx 100 records per blocks.
What is the value of DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT ?
Also, what is the elapsed time for the query if you re-run the query immediately ?
[the first run fetched everything in physical reads, the second run should still
find some or most blocks in the SGA, unless the DB_CACHE_SIZE or DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS
is very small].

The table has 13 columns, the PK is formed for the first 11.
 
There is no deletion nor update, just inserts in the table.  I had truncated the tables sometimes testing the procedure that load the rows.
 
This is the result with an auto trace.

You are doing Full-Table-Scans.

1.  What's the average row length ?  How many columns does the table have ?
2.  How many "consistent gets" does the count(*) cause ? [ie, how many blocks does it actually have to read ?]
3.  Are all these Physical Reads ?  Is the DB_CACHE_SIZE large enough to hold most of the
blocks ?  What is the query-run-time if you re-run the query immediately again ?

Hi list,
 
I issue a select count(*) from mytable and last 30 seconds.
 
The table has 1,466,196 records and were loaded with a batch process, so they are in a countinous space.
 
I consider that time exagerated.
 
The TBS is LMT with a Uniform size of 128 MB.
 
The block size is 8MB, version 9.2.0.1.0 in Windows 2000.
 
Where should I start looking ???
 
TIA
