当会话从磁盘直接读取数据块到PGA(绕过SGA)时，发生direct path read/read temp等待事件 ，下图简要描述了这种方式的读取方式：

如果I/O子系统不支持异步I/Os，那么每个等待对应于一个物理读请求。
direct path read/direct path read temp等待事件有三个参数，位于User I/O等待类下面
SQL> select name,parameter1,parameter2,parameter3,wait_class from v$event_name where name like 'direct path %';
NAME PARAMETER1 PARAMETER2 PARAMETER3 WAIT_CLASS
------------------------------ -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- --------------------
direct path sync File number Flags User I/O
direct path read file number first dba block cnt User I/O
direct path read temp file number first dba block cnt User I/O
direct path write file number first dba block cnt User I/O
direct path write temp file number first dba block cnt User I/O
file#：要读取的数据块所在数据文件的文件号
first dba：要读取的起始数据块号
block cnt：要读取的数据块数目
导致此等待事件的原因有四个：
1.执行的sql语句含有大量排序数据 order by/group by/union/distinct/rollup等
当PGA中排序区不足时，Oracle会将排序结果写入到临时表空间中（direct path write temp）。当从临时表空间中读取排序数据时会在direct path read temp事件上等待。
2.hash join
hash在构建hash table时，将不适合位于内存中的hash partition刷出到临时表空间，随后hash partition被读回到内存时会发生direct path read temp等待事件。
3.并行查询
并行执行过程中，direct path read等待事件只与Master会话派生出的Slave会话有关，Slave会话会在direct path read事件上等待，而Master会话等待的是PX Deq。
4.全表扫描
11g后如果Oracle感觉表足够大，则会进行直接路径读取。
下面依次进行测试
session1:
SQL> alter session set workarea_size_policy=manual; --设为手动pga管理
Session altered.
SQL> alter session set sort_area_size=65536;--设置排序允许的内存大小
Session altered.
SQL> create table scott.tb_test as select * from dba_objects where rownum < 1000; --创建测试表
Table created.
session2:
SQL> oradebug setospid 7038 --设置10046事件追踪session1
Oracle pid: 20, Unix process pid: 7038, image: oracle@node3 (TNS V1-V3)
SQL> oradebug event 10046 trace name context forever,level 12;
Statement processed.
SQL> oradebug tracefile_name
/opt/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/bddev1/BDDEV1/trace/BDDEV1_ora_7038.trc
排序前session1对临时表空间直接读写的统计如下：
SQL> select a.name,b."VALUE"
2 from v$statname a,v$sesstat b
3 where b.sid = 18
4 and a."STATISTIC#" = b."STATISTIC#"
5 and a."NAME" like '%direct temp%';
NAME VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
physical reads direct temporary tablespace 0
physical writes direct temporary tablespace 0
session1：
SQL> select object_id from (select rownum rn,a.* from scott.tb_test a order by 1,2,3 desc) a where rn = 2;
OBJECT_ID
----------
46
此时查看追踪文件：
select object_id from (select rownum rn,a.* from scott.tb_test a order by 1,2,3 desc) a where rn = 2

此时再查看session1对临时表空间直接读写的统计：
NAME VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
physical reads direct temporary tablespace 5
physical writes direct temporary tablespace 5
可看到，由于排序操作， Oracle对临时表空间执行了5次直接写，每次写1个block；执行了2次直接读，分别读取了4个block和1个block。
也可以在sql执行过程中，查看直接读写发生的表空间和段类型：
SQL> select a.event,a.sid, c.sql_hash_value hash_value,decode(d.ktssosegt,1,'SORT', 2,'HASH',3,'DATA',4,'INDEX',5,'LOB_DATA',6,'LOB_INDEX',null) as segment_type,b.tablespace_name,b.file_name

由于parent session并不在direct path read上等待，因此，如果要统计parent session在direct path read上的等待，需要用如下语句：

其中panret session的值为所有child session的累积。
从11G之后，direct path read不仅可用于并行查询，在符合某些条件后，串行的全表扫描也可以利用direct path read方式来完成。
以下总结引用“ 深入分析direct path read（11G）http://www.itpub.net/thread-1815281-1-1.html (出处: ITPUB论坛－中国专业的IT技术社区) ”的测试结果
采用direct path read完成读取的条件：
1）表大于_small_table_threshold的参数值设置。
_small_table_threshold的单位为block。默认为db cache size的2%大小，在实例启动过程中动态决定。11GR2之前，表的大小要是_small_table_threshold参数值的5倍才会采取直接路径读取方式，11GR2后只需要满足_small_table_threshold定义的大小就会采取直接路径读取。
2）表上的脏块小于表总block数的25%
3）表中的块被cache的比例小于50%的时候
自己实际测下来，1是准的，2与3不准，暂时存疑。
