Ram, have you checked the plans for the various parallel specifications to see if at some point the plan changes? What are all your database parallel parameter settings? (parallel_degree_limit)

To clarify my statement below:
"However, any increase in parallel thereafter does not result in an increase in slaves."
What I meant is "However, any increase in parallel thereafter does not result in doubling of slaves."
In other words, increasing the parallelism for INSERT and SELECT to 8 does not result in 16 slaves. It results in 8 slaves.

Subject: Parallel DML
Hi
We have a situation wherein we need to copy the data from one table to another. Both source and target tables are partitioned. There are no constraints other than NULL constraints on the target table. There are no indexes, triggers etc. The target table is no logging mode.
We are using parallel DML with direct path load. The issue is that we are not able to scale beyond 4 slaves even of the PARALLEL clause used is more than 2. The sample script below uses 2 for both INSERT and SELECT portion of the statement. We see 4 slaves being used. However, any increase in parallel thereafter does not result in an increase in slaves.
Interestingly enough, there is another SQL that I have (posting it below this example) which works as expected.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Ram
