Hi everyone,
was trying out parallel hints today to speed up query processing time, its unbelivable!
for example, there are currently more than 38 million records in a table(say table1) in our production database:

the query:
select count(*) from table1;

takes about 20-25 seconds to return the value.

however, if I use:

select /*+ Parallel */ count(*) from table1;

Guess!? Takes about 5 seconds! Thats just crazy!

this hint is useless without specifying the database type
