What is the difference between parallel hint and DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE on an INSERT or MERGE statement in ORACLE?
1 Answer
parallel hint
- does a statement-level parallelism,
- is coordinated inside the SQL engine,
- is a single statement within a single transaction - implies no commits
dbms_parallel_execute package
- does an application-level parallelism,
- is coordinated in a PL/SQL program,
- is multiple statements within multiple transactions - implies commits of partially DML'd data.
You better read the Oracle documentation.
