    Description

      Each row of data in oracle database has a unique identifier(or rowid), which is usually used to access the data inside the oracle. Rowid requires 10 bytes of storage space and uses 18 characters to display. This value indicates the physical location of the row in the oracle database. You can use rowid in a query to indicate that the value is included in the query result.

      It takes 10 bytes or 80 binary bits to save the rowid. The 80 binary bits are:

      • The data object number indicates the number of the database object to which this row belongs. Each data object is uniquely assigned a number when the database is created, and this number is unique. The data object number occupies approximately 32 bits.
      • Corresponding to the file number, indicating the number of the file where the row is located, and each file label in the table space is unique. The position occupied by the file number is 10 bits.
      • The block number indicates the position of the block of the file where the line is changed. The block number requires 22 bits.
      • The row number indicates the specific position of the row in the row directory. The row number requires 16 bits.
        This adds up to 80 bits.

      Oracle's physical extension ROWID has 18 bits, and each bit is coded with 64 bits, which are represented by 64 characters A~Z, a~z, 0~9, +, /. A means 0, B means 1,...Z means 25, a means 26,...z means 51, 0 means 52,..., 9 means 61, + means 62, and / means 63.

      select rowid,empno from scott.emp;

      Through the dbms_rowid package, you can directly get the information contained in the specific rowid:

      SQL> select dbms_rowid.rowid_object(rowid) object_id,dbms_rowid.rowid_relative_fno(rowid) file_id,dbms_rowid.rowid_block_number(rowid) block_id,dbms_rowid.rowid_row_number(rowid) row_number from emp;
