Difference between Full scan and Fast full scan?
Dear all, I read the below link.
http://www.lc.leidenuniv.nl/awcourse...3/optimops.htm
Here is what understood.
Fast full index scan
Fast full scan is used when all the columns in query is existing in index segment. It reads the entire index by using multiblock reads and can be parallelizd.
My question is what is the difference between full scan and fast full index scan? My understanding is, full index scan is same as fast full index scan. Only diffence is, index full scan does not use muliblock read count. Is this correct? Am i missing any other point here??

one full scans the table, the other full scans the index which is 'faster' hence the name

well you index full scan as well, used for exmaple in MAX(), MIN() and it does single block scans in b-tree ordered fashion whereas fast full scan I think it just do multiblock reads without any order
