That's why I asked "How can I make it parallel on WRITING side of the statement?" initially. :) How can I do that? Except: - with setting hints - alter session enable parallel DML/DDL [parallel 32] - alter session force parallel DML/DDL [parallel 32] because this is what I tried so far to make the producers parallelize at all. But having one process writing and four processes delivering data, makes the latter wait a lot. My break-even is to have a parallelsm of 2 at the moment, sad on a box with 8 CPUs and the ability to write 1000MB/s on disks. PARALLEL up to 64 just generates a nicely scalable wait ebvent list, just as reminder, it was "PX Deq Credits: send blkd". > btw, are you using hugepages? Yes and no, I tried both setups so far.
