Nope. Parallel Server allows you to take advantage of a multi=node cluster
for availability and performance. Parallel Query allows you to break a
select statement or DML statements into multiple smaller chunks and have PQ
slaves execute those smaller chunks on separate CPU's in a single box. If
you have both you can split the DML across multiple nodes for even further
performance improvement, but it's not needed.
