Hi.

I am trying to speed up the following query: update table X set col1=2; I set the degree of parallelism for the table X to 16 and added a hint: update /*+ parallel(X,16) */ table X set col1=2; I only got 4 parallel slaves - one for each partition in the table. When I do that same operation for a table
with just one partition, I'm getting as many slaves as I want - up to 32. Is there anything I can do to force ORacle to create more than one parallel process per partition?

thanks
Gene
