Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: what is the reason of design decision of bypassing the buffer cache for parallel query?
Parallel query will only be used for full table scans. Blocks gotten by
full table scans are paged out immediately anyway.
The benefit you mention doesn't necessarily exist, depending on how
your system is being stressed.
I don't think there is any benefit to use parallel query for random
reads.
