Property Description
Parameter type String

Modifiable No

Real Application Clusters Multiple instances can have different values.

Note:

The INSTANCE_GROUPS parameter is deprecated. It is retained for backward compatibility only.

INSTANCE_GROUPS is a Real Application Clusters parameter that you can specify only in parallel mode. Used in conjunction with the PARALLEL_INSTANCE_GROUP parameter, it lets you restrict parallel query operations to a limited number of instances.

This parameter specifies one or more instance groups and assigns the current instance to those groups. If one of the specified groups is also specified in the PARALLEL_INSTANCE_GROUP parameter, then Oracle allocates query processes for a parallel operation from this instance.
