3.1 Administering SQL Processing Offload

To optimize the performance of queries that do table and index scans, the database can offload data search and retrieval processing to the Exadata storage servers. This feature is controlled by database initialization parameters:

• CELL_OFFLOAD_PROCESSING
  The CELL_OFFLOAD_PROCESSING initialization parameter enables SQL processing offload to Oracle Exadata Storage Server.
• CELL_OFFLOAD_PLAN_DISPLAY
  The database parameter CELL_OFFLOAD_PLAN_DISPLAY determines whether the SQL EXPLAIN PLAN command displays the predicates that can be evaluated by Oracle Exadata System Software as STORAGE predicates for a given SQL command.
• CELL_OFFLOAD_DECRYPTION
