Hi Binyamin,

They match because most of the leaf rows (106536) are deleted leaf rows
(106533) meaning you only have *3* non deleted leaf rows.

Basically your table has undergone a somewhat dramatic shrinkage in size.

If you want to learn a thing or two about indexes, take a took at a recent
presentation of mine at
www.actoug.org.au/Downloads/oracle_index_internals.pdf

Regards

Richard

I did an analyze against the index that is using so many buffers (when there
was less than 10 rows in the table).

analyze index &indexname validate structure

The INDEX_STATS table shows

    HEIGHT     BLOCKS NAME                           PARTITION_NAME
3
16384 &indexname

LF_ROWS    LF_BLKS LF_ROWS_LEN LF_BLK_LEN    BR_ROWS    BR_BLKS BR_ROWS_LEN
106536        6465     2450320       3540       6464        157      122626
BR_BLK_LEN DEL_LF_ROWS DEL_LF_ROWS_LEN DISTINCT_KEYS MOST_REPEATED_KEY
      3932      106533         2450251         30847                18

BTREE_SPACE USED_SPACE   PCT_USED ROWS_PER_KEY BLKS_GETS_PER_ACCESS
PRE_ROWS
   23503424    2572946         11    3.4536908            5.2268454
0
PRE_ROWS_LEN OPT_CMPR_COUNT OPT_CMPR_PCTSAVE
           0              2               28

How do these numbers match to such a small table (at the time of the
analyze)?
