Verify what are all the functions and operators qualify for smart_scan
from V$SQLFN_METADATA.



Example-1:

select sid,value/1024/1024 IO_MB,name from v$sesstat st,v$statname sn
where st.statistic#=sn.statistic#
and st.sid=1
and (sn.name like 'cell physical%' or sn.name like 'cell io%' or sn.name like 'physical%total bytes')

Now force it to use direct path reads by using parallel hint.

3    676    92.41            cell physical IO interconnect bytes returned by smart scan


From the above it is clear that smart scan offloaded the IO to the cell and transported only
the necessary IO to the db server i.e around 92 mb and overall elapsed time is apprx 2 secs down from 44 secs.

Example-2

Create tables forces direct path reads, lets check an example:

SQL> drop table sshaik_api_all;

Table dropped.

SQL> alter system flush buffer_cache;

System altered.

SQL> alter system flush shareD_pool;

System altered.




SQL> alter session set cell_offload_processing=false;

Session altered.

Elapsed: 00:00:00.00
SQL> create table sshaik_api_all as select * from cn.LINES_API_ALL where processed_period_id<=2011002;

Table created.

Elapsed: 00:05:27.322011001>2011001>2011001>2011001>

No smart scan or cell offloading and it took around 5mins 27 secs
