Why cell single block physical read
Yesterday and for part of today, I was able to insert into a table using hint /*+ APPEND NOLOGGING IGNORE_ROW_ON_DUPKEY() */ and I was getting a rate of about a million rows in 700K rows/minute. Today I get a wait event "cell single block physical read" and the job has gone to LaLa land.
I removed the IGNORE_ROW_ON_DUPKEY hint and replaced with SELECT DISTINCT. No improvement.
Exadata V2 => 11.2.0.3
What should I be looking for?
