Re: parallel hint with group by gives wrong results

Bad me, the version is 10.2.0.3 with various sundry one off's applied. I'm leaning toward the combination of star transform and parallel hint being the issue.

What really bugs me is client is reporting problem with only one query out of thousands... watcha bet they haven't bench checked the reports for correctness.
