从Oracle8i开始Oracle提供采样表扫描特性。
Oracle访问数据的基本方法有:
1.全表扫描
2.采样表扫描
全表扫描(Full table Scan)
全表扫描返回表中所有的记录。
执行全表扫描，Oracle读表中的所有记录，考查每一行是否满足WHERE条件。Oracle顺序的读分配给该表的每一个数据块，这样全表扫描能够受益于多块读.
每个数据块Oracle只读一次.
采样表扫描(sample table scan)
采样表扫描返回表中随机采样数据。
这种访问方式需要在FROM语句中包含SAMPLE选项或者SAMPLE BLOCK选项.
SAMPLE选项:
当按行采样来执行一个采样表扫描时，Oracle从表中读取特定百分比的记录，并判定是否满足WHERE子句以返回结果。
SAMPLE BLOCK选项:
使用此选项时，Oracle读取特定百分比的BLOCK，考查结果集是否满足WHERE条件以返回满足条件的纪录.
Sample_Percent:
Sample_Percent是一个数字，定义结果集中包含记录占总记录数量的百分比。
Sample值应该在[0.000001,99.999999]之间。
1.使用SAMPLE选项
SQL> select * from employee SAMPLE(30);

也可以使用dbms_random包实现
SQL> select * from (

主要注重以下几点:
1.sample只对单表生效，不能用于表连接和远程表
2.sample会使SQL自动使用CBO
