Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: db file scattered/sequential read wait
Wolfgang,
Excellent word of caution. I use a global temp table that I load up with the output from dba_segments, slap an index on it and perform the query. The whole process takes a fraction of what it takes to apply this type of predicate to the dba_segments query.
Regards,
Daniel Fink
