Store Indexes In A Larger Block Tablespace: The Multiblock Read Myth Part II (The Fly)

(Richard Foote) Thought I might begin by mentioning a lovely little story by Billy Verreynne in this OTN Forum Thread.

Basically a scientist is doing research on the behaviour of flies. He notes when he opens the jar lid of a trapped fly and claps his hands, the fly takes off and flies away. One day, he decides to pull the wings off the fly. When he claps his hands, the fly just sits there. No matter how loud he claps, other than a slight rocking motion, the fly just doesn’t budge.
