This post is the continuation of the previous part The impact of High Clustering Factor on elapsed time, SGA and CPU This time let’s try to quantify the usage of the resources applying much broader index range scan.I’ll force retrieving 10% (1 million) of rows and will pay close attention to :– Elapsed times with…
