一： db file scattered read 说明
Oracle在执行全表扫描(
Full Table Scan,FTS)、索引快速全扫描(
Index Fast Full Scan)时，为保障性能，尽量一次性读取多个块，这称为
Multi Block I/O。
每次执行Multi Block I/O，都会等待物理I/O结束，此时等待
db file scattered read事件。

This event signifies that the user process is reading buffers into the SGA buffer cache and is waiting for a physical I/O call to return. A db file scattered read issues a scattered read to read the data into multiple discontinuous memory locations. A scattered read is usually a multiblock read. It can occur for a fast full scan (of an index) in addition to a full table scan.
The db file scattered read wait event identifies that a full scan is occurring. When performing a full scan into the buffer cache, the blocks read are read into memory locations that are not physically adjacent to each other. Such reads are called scattered read calls, because the blocks are scattered throughout memory. This is why the corresponding wait event is called 'db file scattered read'. multiblock (up to DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT blocks) reads due to full scans into the buffer cache show up as waits for 'db file scattered read'.

Similar to db file sequential read, except that the session is reading multiple data blocks.

db file scattered read
解决思路
1 SQL优化
如果是某些SQL引起的，例如统计信息不准确，没有索引或使用低效的索引等，可以通过优化SQL，降低db file scattered read；
2 分区表
可以考虑将全表扫描优化成分区扫描；
3 增大BUFFER CACHE
如果db file scattered read出现特别频繁，Buffer HIT较低，可以考虑增大buffer cache；
4 使用更快的存储；
select name, parameter1, parameter2, parameter3
from v$event_name
where name = 'db file scattered read';
---查看含有db file scattered read等待事件的session；
SELECT sid, total_waits, time_waited
FROM v$session_event
WHERE event = 'db file scattered read'
and total_waits > 0
ORDER BY 2 desc;
select sid, event, p1, p2, p3, wait_class
from v$session_wait
where event = 'db file scattered read';
Check the following V$SESSION_WAIT parameter columns:
P1: The absolute file number
P2: The block being read
P3: The number of blocks (should be greater than 1)
select owner, segment_name, segment_type
from dba_extents
where file_id = 6
and 37475 between block_id and block_id + blocks - 1;
SELECT row_wait_obj# FROM V$SESSION WHERE EVENT = 'db file scattered read';
SELECT owner, object_name, subobject_name, object_type
FROM DBA_OBJECTS
WHERE data_object_id = '88605';
select v.last_call_et,
v.username,
v.sid,
sql.sql_text,
sql.sql_id,
sql.disk_reads,
v.event
from v$session v, v$sql sql
where v.sql_address = sql.address
and v.last_call_et > 0
and v.status = 'ACTIVE'
and v.username is not null;
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor('d24df9xbujb75'));
---SELECT SQL_ADDRESS, SQL_HASH_VALUE
FROM V$SESSION
WHERE EVENT LIKE 'db file%read';

全表扫描(Full Table Scan,FTS)
http://f.dataguru.cn/thread-44033-1-1.html
Oracle 11g，在大表的全表扫描 算法上有新的变化，根据表的大小、高速缓存的大小等信息，决定是否绕过SGA直接从磁盘读取数据。
而10g则是全部通过高速缓存读取数据。
Oracle 11g认为大表全表时使用直接路径读，可能比10g中的数据文件散列读(db file scattered reads)速度更快，效率更高，因此我们看到的大部分为
direct path read等待事件。
Oracle 11g提供我们选择权，这个选择权可以通过隐含参数来控制，就是"
_serial_direct_read"，此参数默认值为auto

db file scattered read
Similar to db file sequential read, except that the session is reading multiple data blocks.
Wait Time: The wait time is the actual time it takes to do all of the I/Os

10.3.2 db file scattered read
This event signifies that the user process is reading buffers into the SGA buffer cache and is waiting for a physical I/O call to return. A db file scattered read issues a scattered read to read the data into multiple discontinuous memory locations. A scattered read is usually a multiblock read. It can occur for a fast full scan (of an index) in addition to a full table scan.
The db file scattered read wait event identifies that a full scan is occurring. When performing a full scan into the buffer cache, the blocks read are read into memory locations that are not physically adjacent to each other. Such reads are called scattered read calls, because the blocks are scattered throughout memory. This is why the corresponding wait event is called 'db file scattered read'. multiblock (up to DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT blocks) reads due to full scans into the buffer cache show up as waits for 'db file scattered read'.
Check the following V$SESSION_WAIT parameter columns:
P1: The absolute file number
P2: The block being read
P3: The number of blocks (should be greater than 1)
10.3.2.2 Managing Excessive I/O
There are several ways to handle excessive I/O waits. In the order of effectiveness, these are as follows:
Reduce the I/O activity by SQL tuning.
Reduce the need to do I/O by managing the workload.
Gather system statistics with DBMS_STATS package, allowing the query optimizer to accurately cost possible access paths that use full scans.
Use Automatic Storage Management.
Add more disks to reduce the number of I/Os for each disk.
Alleviate I/O hot spots by redistributing I/O across existing disks.
The first course of action should be to find opportunities to reduce I/O. Examine the SQL statements being run by sessions waiting for these events and statements causing high physical I/Os from V$SQLAREA. Factors that can adversely affect the execution plans causing excessive I/O include the following:
Improperly optimized SQL
Missing indexes
High degree of parallelism for the table (skewing the optimizer toward scans)
Lack of accurate statistics for the optimizer
Setting the value for DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT initialization parameter too high which favors full scans
10.3.2.3 Inadequate I/O Distribution
Besides reducing I/O, also examine the I/O distribution of files across the disks. Is I/O distributed uniformly across the disks, or are there hot spots on some disks? Are the number of disks sufficient to meet the I/O needs of the database?
See the total I/O operations (reads and writes) by the database, and compare those with the number of disks used. Remember to include the I/O activity of LGWR and ARCH processes.
10.3.2.4 Finding the SQL Statement executed by Sessions Waiting for I/O
Use the following query to determine, at a point in time, which sessions are waiting for I/O:
SELECT SQL_ADDRESS, SQL_HASH_VALUE
FROM V$SESSION
WHERE EVENT LIKE 'db file%read';
10.3.2.5 Finding the Object Requiring I/O
To determine the possible causes, first query V$SESSION to identify the value of ROW_WAIT_OBJ# when the session waits for db file scatteredread. For example:
SELECT row_wait_obj#
FROM V$SESSION
WHERE EVENT = 'db file scattered read';
To identify the object and object type contended for, query DBA_OBJECTS using the value for ROW_WAIT_OBJ# that is returned from V$SESSION. For example:
SELECT owner, object_name, subobject_name, object_type
FROM DBA_OBJECTS
WHERE data_object_id = &row_wait_obj;
