Hola Folks,

I'm just begining my first forays into treedumps.  I
came across Richard Foote's excellent presentation
(http://www.actoug.org.au/Downloads/oracle_index_internals.pdf)
.  Heavy read for me at least.

Anyway, question is how does one interpret then nrows
and rrows values? 
branch: 0x784d417 126145559 (0: nrow: 4, level: 2)
 branch: 0x7c57042 130379842 (-1: nrow: 705, level: 1)
    leaf: 0x784d433 126145587 (-1: nrow: 297 rrow:
297)
    leaf: 0x784d72b 126146347 (0: nrow: 300 rrow: 300)
    leaf: 0x784d741 126146369 (1: nrow: 300 rrow: 300)

For the leaf values, what does nrow and rrow mean; num
of possible index entries vs. number of actual
entries? 

Can't find any mention of it elsewhere, although I
have to admit, I have not been able to fully digest
the entire article.
