Sorry, may be I did not express it clearly, I actually means the case when insert's target(not in select part) table is
temporary.
And you are right that parallel select is not enabled when temporary table is in select part.
I test for the case when insert's target table is temporary or not.
--insert into not temporary table---
postgres=# explain (costs off) insert into notemp select * from test where i < 600;
QUERY PLAN
---------------------------------------
Gather
Workers Planned: 4
-> Insert on notemp
-> Parallel Seq Scan on test
Filter: (i < 600)
--insert into temporary table---
postgres=# explain (costs off) insert into temp select * from test where i < 600;
QUERY PLAN
---------------------------
Insert on temp
-> Seq Scan on test
Filter: (i < 600)
---without insert part---
postgres=# explain (costs off) select * from test where i < 600;
QUERY PLAN
---------------------------------
Gather
Workers Planned: 4
-> Parallel Seq Scan on test
Filter: (i < 600)
