parallel_clause
BM_2050399Use the PARALLEL clause to change the default degree of parallelism for queries and DML on the index.
BM_2050400Restriction: You cannot specify this clause for an index on a temporary table.
BM_2057322
BM_2057320Note: BM_2057321
The syntax of the parallel_clause supersedes syntax appearing in earlier releases of Oracle. Superseded syntax is still supported for backward compatibility, but may result in slightly different behavior.
BM_2057343
BM_2057326
NOPARALLEL
BM_2057328Specify NOPARALLEL for serial execution. This is the default.
BM_2057332
PARALLEL
BM_2057334Specify PARALLEL if you want Oracle to select a degree of
parallelism equal to the number of CPUs available on all participating
instances times the value of the PARALLEL_THREADS_PER_CPU initialization
parameter.
BM_2057338
PARALLEL integer
BM_2057340Specification of integer indicates the degree of parallelism, which is the number of parallel threads used in the parallel operation. Each parallel thread may use one or two parallel execution servers. Normally Oracle calculates the optimum degree of parallelism, so it is not necessary for you to specify integer.
