TRUE | FALSE |
Note: This parameter refers to parallel execution, not to Oracle Parallel Server. |
PARALLEL_BROADCAST_ENABLED lets you improve performance of hash and merge join operations in which a very large join result set is joined with a very small result set (size being measured in bytes, rather than number of rows).
When this parameter is set to TRUE , the optimizer can choose to copy all the source rows of the small result set and broadcast a copy to each parallel server that is processing some rows of the larger set. |
