Hello All, I am in the process of creating a bitmap index on a foreign key in a fact table(partitioned) comprising of 10 mil rows. The distinct count on the foreign key is 4 mil. This is to ensure that star transformation works. I have a degree of 8 for the table and when i am creating the index i do local tablespace parallel 8. For some reason when i take a look at v$px_session table i see only a degree of 3 with reg_degree as 3 for the create index and hence this index creation is taking about 3 hours. This is the only process running in the box (8cpu , plenty of ram , 9.2 oracle ver) I have NOT set parallel automatic tuning to true and max_servers is set to 72. I tried this same index creation on another fact table and that too shows only reg_degree as 3. Could someone please let me know whats is happening ?? Is there an internal setting that is overriding my parallel 8 option in the create index.
