Types of Parallelism
The following types of parallelism are discussed in this section:
Example 21-4 Parallelizing INSERT ... SELECT
Add the new employees who were hired after the acquisition of
ACME
.INSERT /*+ PARALLEL(EMP) */ INTO employees SELECT /*+ PARALLEL(ACME_EMP) */ * FROM ACME_EMP;
Example 1 Parallelizing UPDATE and DELETE
Give a 10 percent salary raise to all clerks in Dallas.
UPDATE /*+ PARALLEL(EMP) */ employees SET SAL=SAL * 1.1 WHERE JOB='CLERK' AND DEPTNO IN (SELECT DEPTNO FROM DEPT WHERE LOCATION='DALLAS');
The
PARALLEL
hint is applied to the UPDATE
operation as well as to the scan.Example 2 Parallelizing UPDATE and DELETE
Remove all products in the grocery category because the grocery business line was recently spun off into a separate company.
DELETE /*+ PARALLEL(PRODUCTS) */ FROM PRODUCTS WHERE PRODUCT_CATEGORY ='GROCERY';
Again, the parallelism is applied to the scan as well as
UPDATE
operation on table employees
.Incremental Data Loading in Parallel
Parallel DML combined with the updatable join views facility provides an efficient solution for refreshing the tables of a data warehouse system. To refresh tables is to update them with the differential data generated from the OLTP production system.
In the following example, assume that you want to refresh a table named
customer
that has columns c_key
, c_name
, and c_addr
. The differential data contains either new rows or rows that have been updated since the last refresh of the data warehouse. In this example, the updated data is shipped from the production system to the data warehouse system by means of ASCII files. These files must be loaded into a temporary table, named diff_customer
, before starting the refresh process. You can use SQL*Loader with both the parallel and direct options to efficiently perform this task. You can use the APPEND
hint when loading in parallel as well.
Once
diff_customer
is loaded, the refresh process can be started. It can be performed in two phases or by merging in parallel, as demonstrated in the following:- Updating the Table in Parallel
- Inserting the New Rows into the Table in Parallel
- Merging in Parallel
Updating the Table in Parallel
The following statement is a straightforward SQL implementation of the update using subqueries:
UPDATE customers SET(c_name, c_addr) = (SELECT c_name, c_addr FROM diff_customer WHERE diff_customer.c_key = customer.c_key) WHERE c_key IN(SELECT c_key FROM diff_customer);
Unfortunately, the two subqueries in this statement affect performance.
An alternative is to rewrite this query using updatable join views. To do this, you must first add a primary key constraint to the
diff_customer
table to ensure that the modified columns map to a key-preserved table:CREATE UNIQUE INDEX diff_pkey_ind ON diff_customer(c_key) PARALLEL NOLOGGING; ALTER TABLE diff_customer ADD PRIMARY KEY (c_key);
You can then update the
customers
table with the following SQL statement:UPDATE /*+ PARALLEL(cust_joinview) */ (SELECT /*+ PARALLEL(customers) PARALLEL(diff_customer) */ CUSTOMER.c_name AS c_name CUSTOMER.c_addr AS c_addr, diff_customer.c_name AS c_newname, diff_customer.c_addr AS c_newaddr WHERE customers.c_key = diff_customer.c_key) cust_joinview SET c_name = c_newname, c_addr = c_newaddr;
The base scans feeding the join view
cust_joinview
are done in parallel. You can then parallelize the update to further improve performance, but only if the customer
table is partitioned.Inserting the New Rows into the Table in Parallel
The last phase of the refresh process consists of inserting the new rows from the
diff_customer
temporary table to the customer
table. Unlike the update case, you cannot avoid having a subquery in the INSERT
statement:INSERT /*+PARALLEL(customers)*/ INTO customers SELECT * FROM diff_customer s);
However, you can guarantee that the subquery is transformed into an anti-hash join by using the
HASH_AJ
hint. Doing so enables you to use parallel INSERT
to execute the preceding statement efficiently. Parallel INSERT
is applicable even if the table is not partitioned.Merging in Parallel
In Oracle9i, you combine the previous updates and inserts into one statement, commonly known as a merge. The following statement achieves the same result as all of the statements in "Updating the Table in Parallel" and "Inserting the New Rows into the Table in Parallel":
MERGE INTO customers USING diff_customer ON (diff_customer.c_key = customer.c_key) WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET (c_name, c_addr) = (SELECT c_name, c_addr FROM diff_customer WHERE diff_customer.c_key = customers.c_key) WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT VALUES (diff_customer.c_key,diff_customer.c_data);
FIRST_ROWS(n) Hint
Starting with Oracle9i, a hint calledFIRST_ROWS(n)
, where n is a positive integer was added. This hint enables the optimizer to use a new optimization mode to optimize the query to return n rows in the shortest amount of time. Oracle Corporation recommends that you use this new hint in place of the oldFIRST_ROWS
hint for online queries because the new optimization mode may improve the response time compared to the old optimization mode.Use theFIRST_ROWS(n)
hint in cases where you want the first n number of rows in the shortest possible time. For example, to obtain the first 10 rows in the shortest possible time, use the hint as follows:SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS(10) */ article_id FROM articles_tab WHERE CONTAINS(article, 'Oracle')>0 ORDER BY pub_date DESC;
