The Oracle Parallel Server option's primary focus is high database
availability, providing multiple nodes concurrent access to the same
database files. If one node fails, the remaining node(s) perform
recovery, if necessary, and continue to operate. Oracle Parallel Query
provides the ability for multiprocessor platforms to divide DML and DDL
operations into multiple pieces with the aim of reducing the elapsed
time it takes to complete the operation.
