Move to Parallel Operations

Submitted by admin on Sat, 2004-08-07 07:17.
  • Use the Oracle Parallel Query Option (available from Oracle7.1) to execute batch or decision support queries (but only if you have sufficient CPU and I/O resources).

  • The Oracle Parallel Server Option for MVS is production! It require an IBM 9674 (coupling facility) to handle inter instance locking.

  • Note that in Oracle7 the Parallel Server Option does not support fine grain locking on OS/390. With Oracle8, however, the DLM no longer relies on a platform specific lock manager implementation, so fine grain locks are supported for all platforms.
