Oracle Tips |
Using the parallel_automatric_tuning
parameter
If you are using an SMP or MPP database server with many CPUs, you can
issue a parallel request and leave it up to each Oracle instance to use
its default degree of parallelism. For example, consider the following
parallel query:
select /*+ FULL(employee_table)
PARALLEL(employee_table, DEFAULT, DEFAULT) */
employee_name
from
employee_table
where
emp_type = 'SALARIED';
Oracle also provides the parallel_automatic_tuning init.ora
parameter to assist in setting the best degree of parallelism. When
setting parallel_automatic_tuning, you only need to specify
parallelism for a table, and Oracle will dynamically change the
parallel_adaptive_multi_user parameter to override the execution plan
in favor of maintaining an acceptable overall load on the database.
For additional details, see the Oracle Press Book “Oracle High Performance
Tuning with STATSPACK”.
