Re: Row Migration/Rowchaining

• You have other chained rows in tables that are not analyzed (and therefore wouldn't be listed in your dba_tables query). If this is the case, then v$sysstat is including reads of chained rows in tables that are not yet analyzed.
  
• If you're estimating stats, dba_tables won't have accurate chain_cnt--definitely not for migrated rows. Check sample_size in dba_tables to be sure.
  
• There were other chained rows that are now gone.
• Or, you really have touched those 101 rows 2.3 million times since instance startup.
  

Thank you Dan and Joe.

I checked dba_tables.  The query result shows 101 rows.

>From v$sysstat, I am getting 2,327,441.

Does v$sysstat contains other info when query for 'table fetch continued row'?

Please see below queries.

  1  SELECT owner, table_name, chain_cnt
  2    FROM dba_tables
  3*   WHERE chain_cnt > 0
