Workarea中optimal、onepass、multipass的含义

在ORACLE 10G官方文档《Performance Tuning Guide》中遇到关于PGA中workarea的几个概念：

Optimal

One-pass

Muli-pass

 

ASK TOM上的说明：

in memory sort Everything fits in memory, no disk is needed, everything done in ram.

one pass sort We read some amount of data and sort it, the sort workarea fills up, we write that to disk. We do it again (read more, sort it) - this too spills to disk. We do this over and over until we've read the entire set of data and sorted each of the chunks. Now we need read a bit of each of the chunks we've sorted on disk and start returning data from there. In the one pass sort, we can read a bit of each chunk and start returning data. If we cannot read a bit of EVERY chunk then....

we are in the realm of the multi-pass sort. We read and merge the first few chunks - resulting in a new set. We read and merge another set of chunks - resulting in a new set. And so on - until we've processed all of the output from the first pass and created a "second pass" of more merged (more sorted) data. Then we merge those in the sort area and start returning data.

 

按我理解 in memory sort=Optimal,对于英文理解毕竟不如中文。

 

以下文档对对理解这几个概念很有帮助：
