PARALLEL_INSTANCE_GROUP is an Oracle9i Real Application Clusters parameter that you can specify in parallel mode only. Used in conjunction with the INSTANCE_GROUPS parameter, it lets you restrict parallel query operations to a limited number of instances.
This parameter identifies the parallel instance group Oracle will use for spawning parallel execution processes. Parallel operations will spawn parallel execution processes only on instances that specify a matching group in their INSTANCE_GROUPS parameter.
If the value of PARALLEL_INSTANCE_GROUP does not correspond to an instance group name specified for an active instance, Oracle returns an error.
