PARALLEL_MIN_TIME_THRESHOLD Contradictions

Tue, 2012-09-25 06:39
PARALLEL_MIN_TIME_THRESHOLD initialization parameter controls which statements are candidate for parallelism. 

 As per MOS, this parameter is set to 10 seconds while Oracle documentation claims that it is set to 30 seconds. Now who's correct ??? Seems like it's a documentation bug.

 Below are the links to both Oracle documentation and MOS article:

Oracle Database 12c - New Feature: Identity Columns

Wed, 2012-07-25 05:20

Well, Oracle Database 12c is not yet available but new features seems to be popping out in MOS. While troubleshooting Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c startup issues I came across Oracle Database 12c new feature called “Identity Columns”.

An Identity Columns is auto-incremented at the time of insertion just like in SQL Server. Going forward, I think you will not use Oracle Sequence anymore to generate unique values instead use Identity Columns.
