To stevehai812,
I see why you had the question ("you just said '[t]he read is read of a buffer in buffer cache (memory)'..."). I checked my message in msg#2. That sentence should not be read alone, otherwise it would indeed be mis-interpreted. What I meant is that all regular (i.e. excluding direct path read) disk reads of a table or index are reads from disk to buffer cache. Consistent read counts the buffer blocks needed to satisfy the SQL. So in this sense you can ignore the first phase of the whole process (disk read) and just count the second phase (buffer cache read). |
