Hi TOM,
I traced some sqls with " full table scan ",and it always returns 1 row (r=1)
during first fetch .
Is this because of "cursor prefetch" or else? Hope your advice.
For example,full table scan dual

Thanks in advance.

looks like a sqlplus "ism" （http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-ism ）
drop table t;
create table t as select * from all_users;
alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';
select username from t where rownum <25;
declare
type array is table of varchar2(30) index by binary_integer;
l_array array;
begin
select username bulk collect into l_array from t where rownum<25;
end;
/
it is the client doing it -- sqlplus purposely did this for some reason.

SQLPLUS is using OCI8 May 06, 2005
Reviewer: Anjo Kolk from Garderen, The Netherlands
SQLPlus is using OCI8 (Oracle Call Interface) into the kernel since Oracle8.
OCI8 has this prefetch feature, so if you would rewrite this example in OCI8, it
should show the same behaviour.
Followup:
Anjo,
thanks!
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:3341804672157758663::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:880343948514,
Array size by default is 15 in plus
10 in JDBC
2 in pro*c
1 in OCI
??? in odbc (no idea, never use it)
...
(sqlplus is JUST an oci application)
...
If you full scan a table T that has N blocks and R rows and you use an array
fetch size of A, we will typically perform the following number of consistent
gets:
N + R/A
...
A FACTOR in consistent gets is arraysize.
ARRAYSIZE does not determine consistent gets.
