Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: RDBMS on Multiprozessor
Symetric MultiProcessing (SMP) control is done at OS level, so there are no
Oracle options you need to make use of it.
There is a Parallel Query option available for most platforms. The enables
Oracle to do two (or more) tasks concurrently. However it is only of use
if you have designed the database to make use of it (e.g. split tablespaces
over several spindles), and you typically have very large amounts of data
which lend themselves to being processed in this way. In short, best left
to folks who have experience of it as you can easily sleigh performance if
you cock up.
