对于oracle的update操作,在数据块中具体是如何出来,是直接更新原来值,还是通过插入新值修改指针的方法实现.下面通过证明:
模拟表插入数据

SQL> create table t_xifenfei(id number,name varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert into t_xifenfei values(1,'XFF');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t_xifenfei values(2,'CHF');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> alter system checkpoint;
System altered.
SQL> select id,rowid,
  2  dbms_rowid.rowid_relative_fno(rowid)rel_fno,
  3  dbms_rowid.rowid_block_number(rowid)blockno,
  4  dbms_rowid.rowid_row_number(rowid) rowno
  5  from t_xifenfei;
        ID ROWID                 REL_FNO    BLOCKNO      ROWNO
---------- ------------------ ---------- ---------- ----------
         1 AAASc+AAEAAAACvAAA          4        175          0
         2 AAASc+AAEAAAACvAAB          4        175          1
SQL> alter system dump datafile 4 block 175;
System altered.
SQL>  select value from v$diag_info where name='Default Trace File';
VALUE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/u01/oracle/diag/rdbms/ora11g/ora11g/trace/ora11g_ora_24625.trc

数据存储对应16进制值

SQL> select dump(1,'16') from dual;
DUMP(1,'16')
-----------------
Typ=2 Len=2: c1,2
SQL> select dump(2,'16') from dual;
DUMP(2,'16')
-----------------
Typ=2 Len=2: c1,3
SQL> select dump('XFF','16') FROM DUAL;
DUMP('XFF','16')
----------------------
Typ=96 Len=3: 58,46,46
SQL> SELECT DUMP('CHF','16') FROM DUAL;
DUMP('CHF','16')
----------------------
Typ=96 Len=3: 43,48,46

得出第一条记录对应值为:02c10203584646;第二条记录对应值为:02c10303434846

这里可以得到结论如下:
1.数据是从块的底部开始往上存储
2.在每一条记录的头部分别有flag/lock/cols对应这里的2c0102
3.这里的偏移量和dump出来的数据可以看出来两条记录是连续在一起(偏移量分别为:8168和8178)

更新一条记录

SQL> update t_xifenfei set name='XIFENFEI' where id=1;
1 row updated.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> alter system checkpoint;
System altered.
SQL> alter system dump datafile 4 block 175;
System altered.
SQL> select dump('XIFENFEI','16') from dual;
DUMP('XIFENFEI','16')
-------------------------------------
Typ=96 Len=8: 58,49,46,45,4e,46,45,49

我们可以但看到值有XFF改变为XIFENFEI,存储长度变大

End dump data blocks tsn: 4 file#: 4 minblk 175 maxblk 175

通过对比第一次dump出来的数据块发现:row 0的值和偏移量发生了变化

从这里可以看到
1.这里可以看到三个值(XFF,CHF,XIFENFEI)均存在,但是通过p kdbr和dump block不能看到,因为row directory中无指针指定到该值上
2.也是通过row directory指针使得我们从原先看到的第一条记录处于数据块最底部变成了现在相对而言的数据部分最上层,
3.绝大多数情况:数据库更新一条记录,不是直接修改数据值,而是重新插入一条新记录,然后修改row directory指针指定到新的offset上
4.不是直接update,而是insert+指针来实现,这样做的好处:1)如果修改记录update值的长度发生变化(变大或者变小)那么该值之前的数据都要发生变动,对数据库来说成本太高.2)如果直接更新值可能导致其他数据变动,使得其他行受到影响.
5.由于是修改row directory指针,所以该处理方法的rowid值不会发生变化
