I see from the documentation that it is perfectly valid to write a parallel hint with neither degree nor default.
For example: select /* + parallel */ ename from emp; (please pretend that emp is not a tiny table).What will oracle use to calculate the degree of parallelism used when the hint is constructed as above?
I have been unable to find the answer in the documentation. Thank you, Claudia -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
