            Is this RAC? Can you print exactly values for
parallel_instance_group and instance_groups?

How much of that table is already in the buffer cache when PQ stops
being operative?

On a 9.2.0.6 database on Solarix 64, which is created every day from a
magical SAN-based mirror process thing (excuse the tech talk), we alter
a particular table to a default degree of parallelsim of 12. A process
which performs a full scan of that table picks up the degree of 12 and
completes in a couple of hours.

 

Later in the day we can no longer prompt the instance to give any
parallelism. 

 

I've tried everything obvious ... setting parallel_adaptive_multiuser to
false, parallel max servers to 48, used hints, made sure the table's
default dop is 12, checked that PROCESSES is reasonably high (500+),
that the server is not very busy (less than 10 active sessions), ALTER
SESSION FORCE PARALLEL QUERY, but nothing we do will prompt PQ to be
used on even the most simple SELECT * FROM ... queries.

 

Any thoughts on this are much appreciated.
