Purpose

This note documents the Parallel Execution wait events.
Some of these are considered idle wait events, so you can do nothing about.
If you see  '-------' in the wait class for a version, then the wait event is not implemented in this version. 

Scope

This is intended as a reference for anyone involved in database tuning.
This Note lists the wait events and points to Reference Note where a Note is available.
At the moment we consider the following PX wait events idle:
---PX Deq: Txn Recovery Start
