前几天说过，Oracle10g Events CONTROLF的改变，当时猜测控制文件的变化可能是为了满足Oracle10g Grid运算支持大量并行实例的需要。 单实例节点控制文件转储包含的位图如下:

Database checkpoint: Thread=1 scn: 0x0000.0007276a
Threads: #Enabled=1, #Open=1, Head=1, Tail=1
enabled threads: 01000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
今天转储了一个RAC数据库的控制文件，验证了这个猜测：

Oracle不断的将位图引入数据库的各个治理单元，显然旨在性能提高。 -The End- http://www.eygle.com/archives/2007/02/controlfile_bitmap.Html
