Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> [oracle-l] Index block count
I have a b-tree, unique, local, prefixed, range partitioned index. The blevel
on all of the partitions is 2. There are no chained/migrated rows in the table.
I have a query that selects 1 record and only uses the index. I am not sure why
the query uses 4 blocks. I would think that it would just have to use 1 for the
branch block and 1 for the leaf block. Can someone explain it to me? (I have
run the query 8,000 times and the average blocks per execution is 4.1)
Thanks,
Tom
