Have you tried:
CREATE TABLE blah AS SELECT ...  ?

Subject: [GENERAL] Sequential parallel scan / agg

Hi all,

I have a customer who is making use of the new parallel features on a 64 core box - this is working really well for them. However one issue (which I've since realised I've never seen an example of) is getting the data from these queries into a table.

I can't seem to create a plan which does this and still uses multiple workers, probably best to just show by example.

Below you can see:
  1. INSERT ... SELECT doesn't work
  2. WITH a AS (SELECT ...) INSERT FROM a doesn't work
  3. SELECT .. INTO doesn't work
  4. SELECT with no insert does work as expected
