Yes, good question, we analyze each night.  There are loads going on all the
time.

Tom,

You say the blevel is 2.  At the risk of stating the obvious, are stats up to
date?  Have you loaded any data recently?

I have a b-tree, unique, local, prefixed, range partitioned index.  The blevel
on all of the partitions is 2.  There are no chained/migrated rows in the table.
=20 I have a query that selects 1 record and only uses the index.  I am not sure
why the query uses 4 blocks.  I would think that it would just have to use 1 for
the branch block and 1 for the leaf block.  Can someone explain it to me? (I
have run the query 8,000 times and the average blocks per execution is 4.1)
Thanks, Tom
