ON
Can be set temporary, for an individual connection, or for the PUBLIC group. Takes effect immediately.
The PARALLEL_GBH_ENABLED option causes GROUP BY operations on a single table to be done in parallel using all available CPUs. This option provides significant performance gains for some queries in certain situations.
PARALLEL_GBH_ENABLED is ON by default. You can disable this feature by setting PARALLEL_GBH_ENABLED to OFF or constrain the effect by changing the value of the PARALLEL_GBH_UNITS option.
