Trace Bucket Dump - Blackbox on DOP

I found this was interesting with _px_trace gave some insight to the DOP and its funtionality. This example will generate a trace in the user_dump_dest. This query was executed on the two node cluster, on 11.2.0.3

SQL> create table t1(n number);
SQL> insert into t1 values(100);
SQL> insert into t1 values(100);
SQL> insert into t1 values(100);
SQL> commit;
SQL> alter session set "_px_trace"="compilation","execution","messaging"; 
SQL> alter table t1 parallel 2; 
SQL> select count(*) from t1;

DOP goes with PX Blackbox trace dump as shown in below trace output.  

<= COMMENTS are given with this symbol, lets rock!

Does, Oracle Dump the trace into the black bucket.

Happy DBA... ;)
