[20230908]Oracle Index Range Scan with LIKE Condition on Wildcard ‘_’.txt

–//昨天看链接:http://ksun-oracle.blogspot.com/2023/09/oracle-index-range-scan-with-like.html,当时一下子没有反应过来,
–//作者这样查询怎么会有这么大区别呢?仔细看题目才明显原来查询的字符串里面存在_,解析为任何字符,这样索引的扫描范围不同,
–//导致出现逻辑读很大的不同。我重复测试看看。

1.环境:
SCOTT@test01p> @ver1
PORT_STRING VERSION BANNER CON_ID
—————————— ————– ——————————————————————————– ———-
IBMPC/WIN_NT64-9.1.0 12.2.0.1.0 Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.2.0.1.0 – 64bit Production 0

2.建立测试例子:
–//drop table test_tab purge;

create table test_tab (
id number
,grp number
,tstr varchar2(14)
,name1 varchar2(100)
,name2 varchar2(100)
,name3 varchar2(100)
);

create unique index test_tab#p on test_tab(id);
alter table test_tab add constraint test_tab#p primary key (id);
create index test_tab#i#name1 on test_tab (name1);
create index test_tab#i#name2 on test_tab (name2);
create index test_tab#i#name3 on test_tab (name3);
–//作者建立索引的风格与我的不同。

insert into test_tab
with sq as (
select level id, mod(level, 300) grp
,to_char((date’2021-11-22′ + rownum/86400), ‘YYYYMMDDHH24MISS’) ts
,decode(mod(level, 3), 0, ‘ONE_PART’, 1, ‘TWO_PART’, 2, ‘THREE_PART’) part
from dual connect by level <= 3*1e5)
select id, grp, ts
,part ||’.’||grp ||’.’||ts name1
,grp ||’.’||part ||’.’||ts name2
,ts ||’.’||part ||’.’||grp name3
from sq;
commit;

exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(”, ‘TEST_TAB’, cascade=>true);

col name2 for a30 new_value n2
col name3 for a30 new_value n3
SCOTT@test01p> select id, name1, name2, name3 from test_tab m where id = trunc(dbms_random.value(1, 3*1e5));

create or replace procedure test_tab_proc (p_case number, p_cnt number) as

end loop;
dbms_output.put_line(‘——— Index: name2 like ‘||l_name2||’ ——— ‘);
when 3 then

end;

3.测试:
SCOTT@test01p> @ init
SCOTT@test01p> set serveroutput on
SCOTT@test01p> alter session set tracefile_identifier = ‘sql_trc_1’;
Session altered.

SCOTT@test01p> alter session set events ‘10046 trace name context forever, level 12’;
Session altered.

SCOTT@test01p> exec test_tab_proc(1, 100);
——— Index: name1 like THREE_PART.167.20211122130747 ———
Total Elapsed MS = 4210, Total CR gets= 97503, Per Exec MS = 42.1, Per Exec CR gets = 975

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SCOTT@test01p> exec test_tab_proc(2, 100);
——— Index: name2 like 49.TWO_PART.20211122044049 ———
Total Elapsed MS = 100, Total CR gets= 1203, Per Exec MS = 1, Per Exec CR gets = 12

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SCOTT@test01p> exec test_tab_proc(3, 100);
——— Index: name3 like 20211122023738.THREE_PART.158 ———
Total Elapsed MS = 40, Total CR gets= 303, Per Exec MS = .4, Per Exec CR gets = 3
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SCOTT@test01p> set serveroutput off
–//与他的测试基本一致。

SCOTT@test01p> select index_name, clustering_factor, leaf_blocks, blevel from dba_indexes v where table_name = ‘TEST_TAB’;
INDEX_NAME CLUSTERING_FACTOR LEAF_BLOCKS BLEVEL
——————– —————– ———– ———-
TEST_TAB#P 4717 562 1
TEST_TAB#I#NAME1 299999 2765 2
TEST_TAB#I#NAME2 299999 2773 2
TEST_TAB#I#NAME3 4717 1478 2

–//作者的解析:
Before ‘_’, there are 3 different values (‘ONE’,’TWO’,’THREE’). So name1 is divided into three parts. TEST_TAB#I#NAME1
has 2766 leaf blocks, TEST_TAB#I#NAME1 index range scan makes 2766/3, which is 902 CR gets per execution (it performs
like an index partition full scan).

4. Index Meta Data
SCOTT@test01p> select object_name, object_id, to_char(object_id, ‘xxxxxxxx’) object_id_hex from dba_objects t where object_name like ‘TEST_TAB#%’;

–//这是因为前面2个索引50-50 分裂,而最后递增顺序插入,这样90-10分裂(实际上最后那条插入的条目在另外的新索引块上)

— index range scan gets index TEST_TAB#I#NAME1 blocks in ordered read (db file sequential read’).
— index range scan first reads index blocks from root block to the left most satisfied first leaf block along branch blocks,
— then reads from first found leaf blocks till last satisfied leaf block (which are linked with each one points to next one).
— One block per read, logically sequential.

— index fast full scan gets index TEST_TAB#I#NAME1 blocks in unordered read (‘db file scattered read’).
— index fast full scan reads all index blocks (brach/leaf) like full table scan.
— Multiple blocks per read without considering any order.

5.如果过程改写如下,应该基本相同时间完成。
create or replace procedure test_tab_proc1 (p_case number, p_cnt number) as
l_start number;
l_start_cr number;
l_end_cr number;
l_name1 varchar2(100);

l_name3 varchar2(100);
l_ret varchar2(200);
begin
select replace(name1,’_’,’\_’), replace(name2,’_’,’\_’), replace(name3,’_’,’\_’) into l_name1, l_name2, l_name3
from test_tab where id = trunc(dbms_random.value(1, 3*1e5));

l_start := dbms_utility.get_time;
select value into l_start_cr from v$mystat s, v$statname n where s.statistic#=n.statistic# and name = ‘consistent gets’;
case p_case
when 1 then
for i in 1..p_cnt loop
select /*+ index_rs_asc(t (name1)) */ name1 into l_ret from test_tab t where name1 like l_name1 escape ‘\’ ;
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line(‘——— Index: name1 like ‘||l_name1||’ ——— ‘);
when 2 then
for i in 1..p_cnt loop
select /*+ index_rs_asc(t (name2)) */ name2 into l_ret from test_tab t where name2 like l_name2 escape ‘\’ ;
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line(‘——— Index: name2 like ‘||l_name2||’ ——— ‘);
when 3 then
for i in 1..p_cnt loop
select /*+ index_rs_asc(t (name3)) */ name3 into l_ret from test_tab t where name3 like l_name3 escape ‘\’ ;
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line(‘——— Index: name3 like ‘||l_name3||’ ——— ‘);
end case;
select value into l_end_cr from v$mystat s, v$statname n where s.statistic#=n.statistic# and name = ‘consistent gets’;
dbms_output.put_line(‘Total Elapsed MS = ‘||round((dbms_utility.get_time-l_start)*10)||
‘, Total CR gets= ‘ ||(l_end_cr-l_start_cr)||
‘, Per Exec MS = ‘ ||round((dbms_utility.get_time-l_start)*10/p_cnt, 2)||
