That's not so bad: 14644 physical reads in 30 seconds..that's about 500 I/O sec. Depending on your disk layout that's pretty optimal, I think.

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(*)

1466196

Execution Plan

0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=896 Card=1) 1 0 SORT (AGGREGATE)
2 1 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'DM_VENTAS' (Cost=896 Card=1466196)

Statistics

          0  recursive calls
          0  db block gets
      14677  consistent gets
      14644  physical reads
          0  redo size
        386  bytes sent via SQL*Net to client
        503  bytes received via SQL*Net from client
          2  SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client
          0  sorts (memory)
          0  sorts (disk)
          1  rows processed

You are doing Full-Table-Scans.

What's the average row length ? How many columns does the table have ?
How many "consistent gets" does the count(*) cause ? [ie, how many blocks does it actually have to read ?]
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 ???
