Amit Kapila 05c8482f7f Enable parallel SELECT for "INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...". ... Parallel SELECT can't be utilized for INSERT in the following cases: - INSERT statement uses the ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE clause - Target table has a parallel-unsafe: trigger, index expression or predicate, column default expression or check constraint - Target table has a parallel-unsafe domain constraint on any column - Target table is a partitioned table with a parallel-unsafe partition key expression or support function The planner is updated to perform additional parallel-safety checks for the cases listed above, for determining whether it is safe to run INSERT in parallel-mode with an underlying parallel SELECT. The planner will consider using parallel SELECT for "INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...", provided nothing unsafe is found from the additional parallel-safety checks, or from the existing parallel-safety checks for SELECT. While checking parallel-safety, we need to check it for all the partitions on the table which can be costly especially when we decide not to use a parallel plan. So, in a separate patch, we will introduce a GUC and or a reloption to enable/disable parallelism for Insert statements. Prior to entering parallel-mode for the execution of INSERT with parallel SELECT, a TransactionId is acquired and assigned to the current transaction state. This is necessary to prevent the INSERT from attempting to assign the TransactionId whilst in parallel-mode, which is not allowed. This approach has a disadvantage in that if the underlying SELECT does not return any rows, then the TransactionId is not used, however that shouldn't happen in practice in many cases.
