Hello,

I am trying to play on a test machine with the Parallel Query Option.   I
cannot seem to get a query to perform a parallel full table scan.

I have searched on metalink and I believe I have all the proper init.ora
parameters set:

NT 4.0, Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition.

parallel_threads_per_cpu = 2
parallel_min_servers = 0
parallel_max_servers = 5

The test machine only has 1 CPU, does the parallel query even work if the
machine only has 1 CPU?  I realize you need more than 1 cpu for it to be
very beneficial, however, I am not really concerned with the performance,
but I would just like to see a query use the parallel option.

To Test:

I built a 1,000,000 row table and I am using the following query:

SELECT /*+ FULL(TEST) PARALLEL */ COUNT(*)
FROM TEST

When I do an explain plan, I cannot seem to get any parallel execution.

Is there something I am missing or must you have > 1 CPU?  Is 1,000,000 rows
too small?

Thanks, Jim
