db_file_multiblock_read_count and Oracle IO size

初始化参数db_file_multiblock_read_count 影响Oracle在执行全表扫描时一次读取的block的数量.

db_file_multiblock_read_count的设置要受OS最大IO能力影响，也就是说，如果你系统的硬件IO能力有限，即使设置再大的db_file_multiblock_read_count也是没有用的。

理论上，最大db_file_multiblock_read_count和系统IO能力应该有如下关系:

Max(db_file_multiblock_read_count) = MaxOsIOsize/db_block_size

当然这个Max(db_file_multiblock_read_count)还要受Oracle的限制，
目前Oracle所支持的最大db_file_multiblock_read_count 值为128.

我们可以通过db_file_multiblock_read_count来测试Oracle在不同系统下，单次IO最大所能读取得数据量：

我们可以看到，在以上测试平台中，Oracle最多每次IO能够读取128个Block，由于block_size为8k,也就是每次最多读取了1M数据.
