RE: db file scattered read

Mladen,

I guess the rdbms kernel will be passing the startblock-stop block addresses and will be passing to the readv (or pread?) system calls. A single multiblock read can not read two different sets (!) of contiguos blocks.. Or I am thinking in the different direction??

Best Regards,
K Gopalakrishnan

How can you tell that DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ will not span extents? I was unable to confitrm that on Metalink.
