Hey all, I'm using DBMS_STATS (despite it's bugs) on 8.1.7.2.0 / HPUX 11.0. When I specify "degree => 2" in the parms for either GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS or GATHER_TABLE_STATS, I notice that 4 "p" processes are kicked off (e.g. "ora_p001_sid"). Since this is on a test system, there is only one processor. Two of the stats processes have higher CPU and little or no I/Os, while the other two are almost all physical I/O and some CPU (probably for the I/O requests).
So, why are there four processes? I ASSuMEd that there'd only be two. And I can't find the FM to R, nor anything suitable on MetaClink. Anyone? TIA!
