走的是hash unique：
Oracle10g在distinct操作时作了算法改进，使用Hash Unique 代理了以前的Sort Unique.该行为由隐藏参数”

_gby_hash_aggregation_enabled”决定，optimizer_features_enable设置为10.2.0.1时默认为TRUE.

SQL> set linesize 200
SQL> set pagesize 200
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET "_gby_hash_aggregation_enabled" = FALSE;

Session altered.

SQL> set autot trace
SQL> select  distinct department_name
  from hr.departments dept, hr.employees emp
 where dept.department_id = emp.department_id;  2    3  

11 rows selected.
