Oracle server receives a request from a client, run sql through sqlarea in cache, if there runs,if not runs through plan process then executes, if data in buffer cache uses that data otherwise get block(s) from tablespace.
Question: oracle deals with data in blocks only, block 8K, record 1K. Does oracle take 7 additional records on the block read? Does it use the same block size/number of records when it puts changed data in redo logs and rbs? Received on Thu Jul 19 2001 - 20:24:27 CDT
