Oracle stop key算法

  Oracle的stop key是一个很有用的算法，当获取满足条件的数据之后，sql就不往下执行。在实际工作中，我们会有这样的需求，只是判断查询条件是否有满足的数据，并不关心有多少条。下面来做一个例子：

drop table test;
create table test(id number ,name varchar2(100), age number);
insert into test select rownum, 'aaaaaaaaaaa'||rownum, 18  from dual connect by level <1000000;
commit;
create index ind_t_age on test(age);
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user,'test',cascade => true);
select count(age) from test where age=18;
select count(age) from test where age=18 and rownum=1;
SQL> select count(*) from test where age=18;

总结：看到stop key的效果了吧，consistent gets从1970降到了3 。
