	| Hello Experts!!! 
 Good Day.
 
 Suppose there is a Half-Rack Exadata machine with 4 DB and 7 Storage Nodes (Cells).
 
 Suppose we issue a SELECT statement to query few rows of a table. My curiosity is how would the DB/Storage know exactly which cells to look for to fetch the queried rows without having to search all the 7 cells whether smart scan is being used or whether it isn't.
 
 Warm Regards,
 Vikram.
