Hi Mike,
I got 'DEFAULT'. After 'alter table ... noparallel', it was '1'.
From Metalink 66484.1:
(3) If any table in a query has a parallel degreee greater than one
(including the DEFAULT degree), Oracle uses the cost-based optimizer
for that query--even if OPTIMIZER_MODE = RULE, or if there is a RULE
hint in the query itself
So, since you said that a RULE hint makes it work, this may not be the problem.
Dan.

Dan:
When you did a 'select degree from dba_tables', did you get '1'
or 'DEFAULT'? I get '1's for all my tables. Is there someplace
else I should look?
Thanks,
Mike
