PARALLEL_INSTANCE_GROUP
is a Real Application Clusters parameter that you can specify in parallel mode only. Used in conjunction with the INSTANCE_GROUPS
parameter, it lets you restrict parallel query operations to a limited number of instances.
This parameter identifies the parallel instance group Oracle will use for spawning parallel execution processes. Parallel operations will spawn parallel execution processes only on instances that specify a matching group in their INSTANCE_GROUPS
parameter.
If the value assigned to PARALLEL_INSTANCE_GROUP
is the name of a group that does not exist, then the operation runs serially. No parallelism is used.
