📦 Oracle Database

Error Message

ORA-30037: Cannot perform parallel DML after a prior DML on the object
🔍

Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
Mixed DML Operations
A standard DML statement (e.g., INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) was executed on a table, followed by an attempt to use a parallel DML statement on the same table within the same transaction.
⚠️
Transaction Isolation
The current transaction's isolation level prevents parallel DML after a prior DML operation. This is due to the way Oracle manages concurrent access and data consistency.
⚠️
Lack of Bitmap Segments
The database may not be configured to use bitmap segments, which can allow for multiple parallel DML operations on the same object.
