Book descriptionThese days, databases often grow to enormous sizes, straining the ability of single-processor or single computer systems to handle the load. More and more organizations are turning to parallel processing to give them the performance they need. Oracle Parallel Processing is the first book to describe the full range of parallel processing capabilities in the Oracle environment. It demystifies the features and benefits of Oracle parallel processing, the various parallel architectures, parallel execution features, and the Oracle parallel server option.
Full Description
- What is parallel processing--features, benefits, and pitfalls. Who needs it and who doesn't? What features does Oracle provide, and what are their requirements and overhead implications? The book answers these questions and presents the various parallel architectures (SMP, or Symmetric Multiprocessing; MPP, or Massively Parallel Processing; clustered systems; and NUMA, or Non Uniform Memory Access).
- Oracle parallel execution--Oracle supports a variety of parallel execution features in the database. The book covers the use, administration, and tuning of these features: parallel query, parallel data loading, parallel DML (Data Manipulation Language), parallel object creation (through DDL, or Data Definition Language), and parallel replication propagation.
- Oracle Parallel Server--Oracle also provides the OPS option, which work to be spread over both multiple CPUs and multiple nodes. This book covers OPS architecture, requirements, administration, tuning, storage management, recovery, and application failover issues.

Media reviews
"The first book to comprehensively distinguish the complete range of parallel processing capabilities in Oracle8 and Oracle8i." --CC Dolliway, Software World, December 2000
"This book can help you can scale your knowledge of Oracle8i, just as parallel processing scales the performance of Oracle's transaction processing, query processing, and data management. The in-depth and comprehensive treatment of Oracle's parallel processing technology makes this book a keeper for every serious database professional." --Ken Jacobs, VP Product Strategy for Oracle Server Technologies, Oracle Corporation.
