I have just upgraded my 8.0.4 database to 8.1.7.2.

Previously, parallel query would only run on objects that a DEGREE set > 1. I just checked and all of my tables and indexes have DEGREE set to 1.

So are most of my queries now running in parallel? I just checked my init.ora file and I haven't added any new parameters or changed any existing ones.

I'm going to go research some more on Metalink and in the on-line manuals. However, if anyone could give me a quick run-down in what's changed in parallel query in 8.1.7.2, I'd appreciate it. We are making the initial decision whether or not to go with this upgrade in a couple of hours, so I'd like to figure this out by then.

Thanks,
