I see from the documentation that it is perfectly valid to write a parallel hint with neither degree nor default. For example:
select /* + parallel */ ename from emp;
(please pretend that emp is not a tiny table).

What will oracle use to calculate the degree of parallelism used when the hint is constructed as above?

I have been unable to find the answer in the documentation.

Thank you,
Claudia
