Oracle Parallel Server Option in Explain Plan

Oracle parallel option:
Parallel option parameter in int.ora:

parallel_degree_level                        integer     100
parallel_degree_limit                        string      CPU
parallel_degree_policy                      string      AUTO
parallel_execution_message_size     integer     15343
parallel_max_servers                        integer     743
parallel_min_servers                         integer     76
parallel_min_time_threshold            string      AUTO
parallel_server                                   boolean     TRUE
parallel_server_instances                  integer     4
parallel_servers_target                      integer     374
parallel_threads_per_cpu                  integer     2

In an explain plan PX stands for Parallel processing.
PX Send are producer
PX Receiver receiver
PX Coordinator
PX COORDINATOR FORCED SERIAL operation means that, although the plan looks like a parallel execution, Oracle effectively will run this serially at execution time.
IN-OUT column is either P->P or P->S (line 2)
P->P means that data is being sent from one parallel operation to another.
P->S means that data is being sent from a parallel operation to serial operation
P->S QC, which is a single process
PCWC Parallel Combine with Child
PCWP Parallel Combine with Parent
HASH: Hash redistribution is very common in parallel execution in order to achieve an equal distribution among the parallel server processes.
A hash function is applied to the join column and the result dictates which consumer parallel server process should receive the row.
BROADCAST: Broadcast redistribution happens when one of the two result sets in a join operation is much smaller than the other result set. Instead of redistributing rows from both result sets the database sends the smaller result set to all of the consumer parallel server processes in order to guarantee the individual servers are able to complete their join operation.
RANGE: Range redistribution is generally used for parallel sort operations. Individual parallel server processes work on data ranges so that the QC does not have to do any additional sorting but only present the individual parallel server processes results in the correct order.
KEY: Key redistribution ensures result sets for individual key values are clumped together. This is an optimization that is primarily used for partial partition-wise joins to ensure only one side in the join has to be redistributed.
ROUND ROBIN: Round-robin data redistribution can be the final redistribution operation before sending data to the requesting process.
It can also be used in an early stage of a query when no redistribution constraints are required.

Amazon RDS | Amzon Redshift | Big Data | Boost Performance with Amazon ElastiCache

Amazon RDS with Amazon ElastiCache for Performance: Amazon RDS supports - Oracle, MS SQL server, MySQL, Maria DB and PostgreSQL. It is a managed service offered by the Amazon.  Couple of customers have observed the performance issues during their journey with Amazon RDS with Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL, Maria DB and PostgreSQL. Amazon cloud engineers / database consultants / database architect and Amazon supports worked to-gather to boost the Amazon RDS performance by tuning the RDBMS configuration parameters using Amazon RDS parameter group , and have not achieved the SLA for Amazon RDS .  Amazon RDS with Multi AZ and Read Replica: Some of the the AWS professionals have suggested for vertical scaling of the Amazon RDS . It should works and its absolutely correct. In my opinion, it would be a good idea to think about the Amazon ElastiCache service with Amazon RDS for better performance and cost optimization also rather than vertically scaling the Amazon RDS . I would sug...

Create MySQL database with hyphen

Create MySQL database with hyphen: If you are trying to create MySQL database with hyphen " - " in the name such as test-db and get error  " your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-db' at line" then you might be wondering how to get it done as your business require MySQL database name with hyphen " - "  Here is the fix, use escape character " ` " before and after database name such as `test-db` and you will be able to create database with hyphen. CREATE DATABASE `test-db`;
