Description:

Hi

We're using 10.5 with parallel queries enabled and the config options
#max_worker_processes = 8
#max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 2
#max_parallel_workers = 8

I'm seeing invalid cache ID: 11 errors in the log. It's only happening
occasionally (15 times today on a not very busy system). I've been following
the thread about making windowing functions et al parallel restricted - Is
this another manifestation of the problem? 

On the first query setting set session max_parallel_workers to 0 more than
doubles the execution time from 208ms to 580ms so that doesn't seem
desirable, and it's not obvious to me why the second would have failed.

I'm probably being dense and if so apologies for wasting your time. I also
don't see how to create a test case sorry.

Many thanks

Kieran

A couple of example queries are :-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
with limits as (
                      select min(contact_date), max(contact_date)
                      from q366midl.q366m1
                      where contact_date is not null 
                    )
                    select 
                    to_char(min,'YYYY-MM'),
                    'text' as format,
                    to_char(min,substr('YYYY-MM',1,7)) as code,
--
                    from limits
                    union all
                    select
                    to_char(max,'YYYY-MM'),
                    'text' as format,
                    to_char(max,substr('YYYY-MM',1,7)) as code,
                    to_char(max,'Mon YYYY') as text 
                    from limits
                    order by 1
