parallel DML

[bxr556]

when doing parallel DML,
what does "alter session enable parallel dml' used for?

if i didn't enable it, does that mean i can't parallel DML?

also , if i have a regular table ( no partition).
parallel DML will not allowed, am i right?

Hi,
This parameter specifies whether all subsequent DML or DDL transactions in the session will be considered for parallel execution. This clause enables you to override the degree of parallelism of tables during the current session without changing the tables themselves.
You can execute this clause only between committed transactions. Uncommitted transactions must either be committed or rolled back prior to executing this clause.
No,I think so that parallel DML is allowed in a regular table.Please check it out.
