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.

TIA,

Satish.
