Hi all,

Statspack report for a query is the following

Statspack report CCMP 8-Aug.

Buffer Gets Executions Gets per Exec % Total Hash Value
--------------- ------------ -------------- -------

2,396,079 61 39,280.0 16.6 2618625321
SELECT
PLE.IDN_ENTITY_LEGAL_PROVR,TPLE.NAM_BUSNS,TPLE.NAM_FIRST ,TPLE.NAM_MI,TPLE.NAM_LAST,TPLE.NAM_SUFFIX,TPLE.NBR_PHONE,TPLE.N I did an explain plan for the same and the logical blocks read count is 272. I do not understand how the Buffer Gets in 61 executions can be 2.3 million. My understanding is that buffer gets is the same as logical block reads.

Any ideas why this is reported this way? Thanks in advance.
