SELECT DISTINCT DBMS_ROWID.rowid_block_number(ROWID) BLOCKS FROM TEST; BLOCKS ----------- 61762 61764 61763 >>above , there have 3 blocks in table TEST .
No, this shows that 3 blocks of the table have riws.
For your other figures, you need to consider the work of parsing the statement, as well as executing it.

From the 11.2 reference manual. Definition of consistent gets:

Quote:
Number of times a consistent read was requested for a block.


So there is one consistent get per single block read according to this. I believe that a consistent read is one that uses undo to maintain read consistency so that you see the version of the rows committed at the time your query started.

p.s. Link to relevent section of reference manual:

hi,
Lonion, you need to read the oracle doc.
