This subfield indicates the number of bucket fragments that Oracle Rdb had to fetch. A bucket is fragmented if it is too large to fit on one page. A fragmented bucket requires more CPU time and more virtual memory, and often requires additional I/O operations because each bucket fragment must be fetched. If this value is high compared to the number of buckets fetched, Oracle Corporation recommends that you use the RMU Analyze Areas command to further analyze the problem to see how many buckets are actually fragmented.
