表的一个索引：
SQL> CREATE INDEX IND_T_NAME ON T (NAME) STORAGE (BUFFER_POOL KEEP);
Index created.
SQL> ALTER TABLE T MODIFY NAME NOT NULL;
Table altered.
SQL> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM T;
COUNT(*)
----------

下面看KEEP池和DEFAULT池缓存的另一个区别：
SQL> CREATE INDEX IND_T_NAME ON T (NAME) STORAGE (BUFFER_POOL KEEP);
Index created.
SQL> ALTER TABLE T MODIFY NAME NOT NULL;
Table altered.
SQL> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM T;
COUNT(*)

通过测试可以看到，在KEEP池中，索引扫描引起的缓存不在拥有高于全表扫描缓存的优先级。根据上一篇文章中描述的KEEP池的缓存使用特点也可以推出这个结果。由于KEEP池不存在LRU链表，因此对索引扫描和全表扫描产生的缓存采用一视同仁的态度。
第二个特点，CACHE存储参数无效：
SQL> CREATE TABLE T3 STORAGE(BUFFER_POOL KEEP) AS SELECT * FROM T2;
Table created.
SQL> ALTER TABLE T2 CACHE;
Table altered.
SQL> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM T;
COUNT(*)
----------

SQL> SELECT OBJECT_NAME, A.STATUS, COUNT(*)
2 FROM V$BH A, USER_OBJECTS B
3 WHERE A.OBJD = B.OBJECT_ID
4 AND OBJECT_NAME IN ('T', 'T2', 'T3')
5 GROUP BY OBJECT_NAME, A.STATUS;
OBJECT_NAME STATU COUNT(*)
------------------------------ ----- ----------

SQL> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM T2;

5 GROUP BY OBJECT_NAME, A.STATUS;

4 AND OBJECT_NAME IN ('T', 'T2', 'T3')
5 GROUP BY OBJECT_NAME, A.STATUS;
OBJECT_NAME STATU COUNT(*)
------------------------------ ----- ----------
T2 xcur 3267
T3 xcur 4829
SQL> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM T WHERE ROWNUM < 100000;

SQL> SELECT OBJECT_NAME, A.STATUS, COUNT(*)

5 GROUP BY OBJECT_NAME, A.STATUS;

通过测试可以发现，CACHE选项没有起作用，其实这也不难理解，既然放到单独的KEEP池中，那么必然打算将这个对象缓存，因此Oracle对所有KEEP池中的对象采用了默认CACHE的方式。而忽略对象本身的CACHE和NOCACHE选项。
