Here is my feedback fro this patch,
- The patch is working as expected, all regression tests are passing
Thanks for the review.
- I agree with Dilip that having similar mechanism for 'insert into select...' statements would add more value to the patch, but even then this looks like a good idea to extend parallelism for atleast a few of the write operations
Yes, I also agree that supporting of 'insert into select' will provide more
benefit. I already tried to support the same in [1], but it have many
drawbacks especially with triggers. To support a proper parallel support
for DML queries, I feel the logic of ParalleMode needs an update to
avoid the errors from PreventCommandIfParallelMode() function to
identify whether it is nested query operation and that should execute
only in backend and etc.
As the current patch falls into DDL category that gets benefited from
parallel query, because of this reason, I didn't add the 'insert into select'
support into this patch. Without support of it also, it provides the benefit.
I work on supporting the DML write support with parallel query as a
