There are 18 LIOs per insert=2E There are 3 indexes on the table, none are functional=2E Using you formula I should have 10 LIOs per table so yes, my number is=20= bigger than the simple calculation=2E Martic Zoran <zoran_martic@yahoo=2Ecom>=20= Sent by: oracle-l-bounce@freelists=2Eorg 2005/02/10 11:18 AM Please respond to zoran_martic@yahoo=2Ecom To Patty=2ECharlebois@greenshield=2Eca cc oracle-l@freelists=2Eorg Subject RE: LIOs on INSERT? Hi Patty, How many LIOs per one insert do you have? How many indexes do you have on the table? Hope no functional indexes :) Simple algorithm for LIO for simple insert should be =3D N*M + X where N =3D number of indexes M =3D depth level (usually up to 4 on big tables) X =3D number of blocks the insert can fit into (1 for normal size row) Is your number bigger then with this simple formula?
