If I set db_file_multiblock_read_count parameter to some high value, let say 16. The meaning is Oracle will read 16 blocks in buffer cache in one I/O read.

Question: If a query required let say only 2 blocks to read, does Oracle still read 16 as db_file_multiblock_read_count set to 16 or it will just read 2.

The answer to this question will be highly appreciable.
