| DEGREE=ANY | 1 |
enables DB2 to use parallelism, and issues the SET CURRENT DEGREE ='xxx' for all DB2 threads that use that libref.
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, while perhaps slower, uses less system resources.
