The term Column Projection refers to Exadata‘s ability to limit the volume of data transferred between the storage tier and the database tier by only returning columns of interest (that is, those in the select list or
necessary for join operations on the database tier). If your query requests five columns from a 100-column table, Exadata can eliminate most of the data that would be returned to the database servers by non-Exadata storage. This feature is a much bigger deal than you might expect and it can have a very significant impact on response times. Here is an example:
字段投影是指在Exadata中通过只返回感兴趣的列（指那些在SELECT列表中或者必须参加数据库层JOIN操作的列）来限制在存储层和数据库层之间的数据传输。如果查询从拥有100列的表中请求5个字段的值，Exadata能够消除非Exadata存储原本会返回给数据库层的大部分数据。此功能所做的工作远超出你可能的预期，在响应时间上会带来非常巨大的影响。
下面是字段投影的一个例子：
首先在test用户下建立一张大表做测试表：
SQL> conn test/test
Connected.
SQL> @large_table.sql
Table created.
SQL> exit

可以看到在启用Smart Scan的时候，io_interconnect_bytes从127950848降到了12592432，执行时间从00:00:11.64降到了00:00:05.08，同时consistent gets从81301降到了15623。
由于此时没有where条件，所以只是字段投影的影响，没有谓词过滤和存储索引的影响。
