The first two sentences of the last paragraph on page 53 should read as |
follows:
"When inter-operational parallelism is occurring, Oracle
uses two sets of parallel slave processes to execute a
SQL statement, regardless of the number of parallel
operations in the statement."

In Oracle8i, the keyword UNRECOVERABLE is considered a deprecated feature. |
The NOLOGGING keyword has the same effect, and should be used instead.
UNRECOVERABLE is still supported, but only for backwards compatibility. The
exception to this is SQL*Loader, which still supports UNRECOVERABLE. With this
in mind, change the fourth paragraph to read as follows:
"You can specify the UNRECOVERABLE option for SQL*Loader
sessions involved in a parallel load to avoid the
generation of redo for that load. This saves a lot of
time and redo log space. You can also use the NOLOGGING
option while creating tables in parallel using CREATE
TABLE...AS SELECT statements, or while using INSERT
INTO...SELECT statements to do bulk inserts into
a table."
Change the note to read as follows:
"Use of NOLOGGING means that affected tables and indexes
can't be recovered in the event of a media failure. Always
back up affected objects immediately after completing an
operation where NOLOGGING has been used."
Add a new note following the first as follows:
"In releases of Oracle prior to Oracle8i, the keyword
UNRECOVERABLE is used in DML statements, and has the exact
same effect as NOLOGGING does now.
