    Re: Use of Parallel Query Servers

    In addition to setting this parameter to TRUE, you'll need to either
    specify the PARALLEL clause for the table(s) involved, or use the
    relevant hints ("PARALLEL") . Note also that parallelization is
    available only for some specific operations (such as full table
    scans). It won't work for searches using a primary key, as is your
    case.

    Hi,
    >
    We are attempting to switch on the parallel query servers option in
    Oracle,So far we have not succeeded in doing.Was just wondering
    whether its helpful in our case. Following is the configuration of
    the machine on which the Oracle server is installed.

    Our application is firing multiple queries one after the other in
    sequence, each of the individual queries is not complicated and is
    required to retrieve a single row from the a table and uses the
    primary key in its WHERE predicate. Total number of such queries being
    fired is close to 46000 in a sigle sequential operation.

    What we notice is that the server is only making use of a single CPU,
    the other CPU is essentially idle. The CPU getting used reaches close
    to 90% utilisation and the other CPU remians idle during this entire
    duration.

    We tried switching on the parallel query option by setting the
    parallel_automa tic_tuning parameter in init.ora to true. However even
    this is not helping. The server is still utilizing only a single CPU.
    The outputs from v$pq_slave, v$pq_tqstat returns zero rows.
