Re: LIOs on INSERT?

Does the table experience heavy deletes prior to the insert? There are two scenarios I have run into that can lead to high LIO: a) You use ASSM and you are on 9.2.0.5

   There is a bug in 9.2.0.5 if you have insert - delete - insert without commits in between

b) You are not using ASSM and the delete put a lot of blocks on the freelist. On the insert, whenever the current block is "full" (up to 100-pctfree filled) Oracle needs to chase the freelist and retrieve the next block off the list and needs to maintain the list.
