Hermant, Sergey
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.
COUNT(*)

- 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
