行欲取導致sqlplus中trace的consistent gets远大于实际块数

數據庫的db_block_size=16k，表SYS_USER的包含數據塊數=表總大小/db_block_size=56MB/16KB=3584同上面的physical reads基本相等，但consistent gets的數量和我預計的3584相差太大，在這個庫從來不會對SYS_USER表數據做修改，在一致性讀的時候也不會獲取回滾段的數據。

原來遇到過這樣問題沒仔細研究，剛查詢資料發現Tom大師曾經對此做過解答：

sqlplus的欲取行默認是arraysize 15，一次只能查15行，行數/每讀取行數=253348/15(sqlplus中查詢完起碼要讀這么多數據庫塊，即便是有重復的)+3584=20473和上面consistent gets的數量基本相等了。

再驗證一下，將arraysize盡量設大，看看有變化沒有：

SQL> SET ARRAYSIZE 50000;
SP2-0267: arraysize option 50000 out of range (1 through 5000)
SQL> SET ARRAYSIZE 5000;
SQL> select * from JESSE.SYS_USER;

果不其然，看來以后用sqlplus做trace要小心啦。。
