分页语句的快与慢

今天又有人在问分页语句的问题：为什么最后的分页会慢。

这儿我们通过执行计划来分析一下，首先建立测试用表。

drop table test1 purge;
create table test1 as select * from dba_objects;
SQL> select count(*) from test1;

  COUNT(*)
----------
     87028

先用autotrace来看下plan

SQL> set autotrace traceonly
SELECT object_id, object_name
  FROM (SELECT rownum AS sn, a.*
          FROM (SELECT object_id, object_name FROM test1 ORDER BY object_id) a
         WHERE rownum <= 100) a
     WHERE sn >= 90;
Elapsed: 00:00:00.34

|   4 |     TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| TEST1	  | 90705 |  6997K|	4   (0)| 00:00:01 |
|   5 |      INDEX FULL SCAN	       | PK_TEST1 |   101 |	  |	2   (0)| 00:00:01 |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

先不忙下结论，我们再用display_corsor来看下执行计划

SQL> set autotrace off

有细心的读者或许会发现两个plan的不同。

第二个里面A-Rows只有100，这说明两个问题：

1、分页语句不要用autotrace看plan。

2、分页语句读取了100行后便返回了，所以前面几页一般都比较快。

那么后面的几页呢？

看下面的语句及plan

SELECT object_id, object_name
  FROM (SELECT rownum AS sn, a.*
          FROM (SELECT object_id, object_name FROM test1 ORDER BY object_id) a
         WHERE rownum <= 80100) a
  5   WHERE sn >= 80090;

可以看到A-Rows为80100，几乎访问该表所有的行。

访问的行数差异大，速度差异大也就相当正常了。
