Parallel hint in oracle

[jjustingkm]

I am using --+ PARALLEL (4) instead of /*+ Parallel(4) */  in oracle, just wanted to check would it work as expected as I don't have access to database to check the execution.

And also commenting out the // set StripComments=0; in the beginning.

You can try inserting something irrelevant that will give you an error if it doesn't work as expected. Something like the second row here:

  select myfield1, myfield2
  --fail or functional?
  from mydb;
