Abstract
A method and apparatus for parallelizing operations that change a database is provided. A coordinator process receives a statement that requires data to be written into the database. In response to the statement, the coordinator process assigns granules of work to multiple processes. Each of the multiple processes executes the granule of work by writing to the database a distinct portion of the set of data that is to be added to the database. The various portions of data are then merged to create the set of data to be added to the database.
