Re: "gc cr multi block request" and "Current Blocks Received"

Interesting.

I try to reproduce it in my Oracle 10.2.0.4 2-nodes RAC, but have no luck.

In rac2 intance, I insert some new rows into table T, and try to remaster it manually:

SQL> insert into kamus.t select * from dba_objects;

10300 rows created.

SQL> select count(*) from kamus.t;

  COUNT(*)

    348792

SQL> select object_id,data_object_id from dba_objects where object_name='T';

 OBJECT_ID DATA_OBJECT_ID
---------- --------------

     23143 23143

SQL> oradebug lkdebug -m 23143
Statement processed.
SQL> In rac1 instance:
SQL> select name,value from v$sysstat where NAME in ('gc cr blocks received','gc current blocks received');

NAME                                                                  VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
gc cr blocks received                                                  2317
gc current blocks received                                             6204

SQL> /

NAME                                                                  VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
gc cr blocks received                                                  2317
gc current blocks received                                             6204

SQL> select count(*) from kamus.t;

  COUNT(*)

    338492

SQL> select name,value from v$sysstat where NAME in ('gc cr blocks received','gc current blocks received');

NAME                                                                  VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
gc cr blocks received                                                  2603
gc current blocks received                                             6205

Only got 1 block "gc current blocks received" and all others are "gc cr blocks received".
