PLSQL ANONYMOUS BLOCK hangs when executing parallel query on 10g RAC

 Hello,

We have seen two cases when we ran PLSQL ANONYMOUS BLOCK with parallel query on 10g RAC, when the process hangs and never finished. There were no locks since we were only in the select stage of a cursor with 4 parallel processes (with a hint).

We saw 1 session on one instance and four sessions on the second instance that run the same select statement.

In the first case one of the Instances crashed. In the second case we killed the sessions.

We are hesitant to run more parallel queries in  PLSQL ANONYMOUS BLOCK. (We do use them in packages though without a problem). Please note that the max parallel processes that are possible are 10 and we used only 4 in the query.

Howdy, Stranger!
