Hi Gurus, DB: 9.2x OS: solaris 2.8 Why the following query is waiting for db file scattered reads.... select segment_name from dba_segments where tablespace_name in ('ASPD', 'CSED', 'CUED', 'DDDD' ..... 50 more tablespaces. What could be done to avoid this db file scattered reads ? Is there a better way to get this. Thanks and Regards, Srinivas Oracle DBA ( ODC ) Wissen Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
