How to enable an monitor parallel processing in Oracle
569820Nov 2 2010 — edited Nov 2 2010Hi All,
I have 2 short questions:
1. When we want parallel processing, we can either use a parallel hint in the query, or alter a table to be parrallel. My question is what is the difference in the following 2 syntax:
a. ALTER TABLE myTable PARALLEL (DEGREE 3);
b. ALTER TABLE myTable PARALLEL 3;
Does the "DEGREE" keywor make any difference? or they both are same statements?
2. When we enable parallel processing, how can we monitor oracle processes, to confirm that a certain table is being actually processed by multiple threads of a singe user process?
An early response would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
