Also another thing that I felt was that actually the Gather nodes will actually do the insert operation, the Create table will be done earlier itself. Should we change Create table to Insert table something like below:
QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Gather (cost=0.00..9.17 rows=0 width=4)
Workers Planned: 2
->
Insert table2 (instead of Create table2) -> Parallel Seq Scan on table1 (cost=0.00..9.17 rows=417 width=4)
