在Oracle10g之前，数据库中存在一个独一无二的Cache对象，这个对象就是：
SQL> select segment_name,segment_type,header_file,header_block
2 from dba_segments where segment_type='CACHE';
SEGMENT_NAME SEGMENT_TYPE HEADER_FILE HEADER_BLOCK
-------------------- ------------------ ----------- ------------
1.417 CACHE 1 417
这个对象的名称来自于文件号和数据块号，1.417正好就是文件1的第417个数据块。
这个Cache对象在Oracle数据库中的含义非同一般，在bootstrap$的过程中，这个对象之前的所有对象都需要用来bootstrap。
我们看一下1.417之前的所有对象：
SQL> select b.object_id,a.segment_name,a.segment_type,a.header_block from dba_segments a,dba_objects b
2 where a.segment_name=b.object_name(+) and a.header_file=1 and a.header_block <= 417
3 order by a.header_block

bootstarp的对象都是在1.417之前的，当然有部分对象是基于Cluster创建的。
那么这个对象在启动之前有什么作用呢?
itpub上的jametong同学给出了一个重要的信息，在SYSTEM文件头，Oracle存储了一个root dba:
Root dba: This field only occurs in data file #1, and is the location of blocks required
during bootstrapping the data dictionary (bootstrap$)
这个root dba指向了1.417对象，而1.417对象的上一个对象正是bootstrap$，Oracle通过1.417找到了bootstrap$对象就可以启动了数据库。
我们可以从文件头的转储中找到这个root dba，以下是一个Oracle9i的数据文件头信息：

这里的root dba直接指向了0x00400179 ，也就是file 1 block 377.
随之，这个唯一的Cache的对象在Oracle10g中不复存在。
SQL> select COUNT(*) from dba_segments where segment_type='CACHE';
COUNT(*)
----------
0
那么为什么Oracle10g能够作出这样的变更呢？
假如注重一下我们可以发现，cache对象实际上是为了兼容性目的所保留的，其中的主要信息如下：

COUNT(*)
