Hi, all I created a global temporary table, and many sessions will populate huge volume of data into this table. All of these sessions will access the table by means of full scan. Suppose session S1 inserted 10,000 blocks of data, and S2 inserted 10,000 blocks of data. If S1 scan the table, will it scan 10,000 blocks or 20,000 blocks? For normal table, there is high water mark that determine the upper boundary that oracle will scan, for temporary table, is there a similar high water mark for each session, or for all session?
