logical reads

Hello DBAs:
What is the definition of consistent gets and db_block_gets?

Is it measured in blocks or number of trips Server process takes to buffer since Consistent gets and db_block_gets are logical reads.

Thanks, ST2003

Hi, I think you get it form sql*plus autotrace,
consistent gets is logical io in consistent state, while db_block_gets are logical io in current mode.
