My company is considering using Parallel Oracle (Oracle 7?) for a decision 
support application to be used by business analysts, primarily for ad-hoc 
queries against medium to large databases. (min size is 1 GB of data, not 
including indices, etc. and goes up from there)

Does anyone have any experience with Parallel Oracle (ie, does it _really_ 
work?). If so, how does it perform compared to non-parallel implementations on 
appropriate server hardware? I would appreciate any recommendations relative 
to configuration and tips, advice, warnings, "gotchas", etc.

Please e-mail responses, as I do not regularly follow this newsgroup.
Thanks in advance to all respondents.
