enables DB2 to use
parallelism, and issues the SET CURRENT DEGREE ='xxx' for all DB2
threads that use that libref.
1
explicitly disables
the use of parallelism.
Details
When DEGREE=ANY, DB2
has the option of using parallelism, when it is appropriate.
Setting DEGREE=1 prevents
DB2 from performing parallel operations. Instead, DB2 is restricted
to performing one task that, although this is perhaps slower, it uses fewer system
resources.
