Unfortunately, in these cases the current parallelism features cannot be used as all of these queries do write data. See in the doc [1] at "When Can Parallel Query Be Used?" > Even when it is in general possible for parallel query plans to be generated, the planner will not generate them for a given query if any of the following are true: > • The query writes any data or locks any database rows. If a query contains a data-modifying operation either at the top level or within a CTE, no parallel plans for that query will be generated. This is a limitation of the current implementation which could be lifted in a future release.
