Thanks Hemant.
Interestingly, if I remove /*+ parallel(4) */ and replace it with "parallel 4" at the statement level, it stops working. Any idea why this might be happening?

>> create /*+ parallel(4) */ table t15
Since at least 7.3.4
See the CREATE TABLE statement and the PARALLEL Clause in the 7.3.4 documentation available online http://docs.oracle.com/pdf/A32538_1.pdf (back then, Parallel Query was a licensed Option in the database)

Hello,
I am trying to understand the following run..
sqlplus <user>/<pwd>_at_db
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Fri Dec 16 01:25:38 2016

Session altered.
SQL> alter session force parallel query;
Session altered.

SQL> create table t15 as select * from dba_objects union all select * from dba_objects;
^C
At this point, I had to stop the process as it created 289 sessions and was still running..
I made some changes and re-ran..
sqlplus <user>/<pwd>_at_db

Table created.

The highlighted part is the only changed I made, but I cannot explain why this worked with no additional sessions.. I have never seen this syntax mentioned anywhere but a casual try worked.
Does anyone know how this works ?
Rgds,
Gokul
