Have you tried

alter session enable parallel ddl;

Cheers,

Hi again.

I've got still the same problem, but I tried to simplify it, reduce it to the essentials.

I tried to
CREATE TABLE2 TEST PARALLEL 32 AS SELECT * FROM TEST; It works, but the 32 parallel processes are only query processes, there is only ONE writing process. Due to that, all parallel query processes are waiting with "PX Deq Credit: send blkd"

How can I make it parallel on WRITING side of the statement?

The bahaviour is similar or same if I do an INSERT /*+ APPEND PARALLEL(TEST2,32) */ INTO TEST2 SELECT * FROM TEST; when both sides are identically partitioned (4 partitions).

Any further clues? Or known no-gos?

Thanks a lot,
Martin
