I can see what you have in mind, but I think we still need to change
the parallel safety flag of the path if *_target is not parallel safe
either inside apply_projection_to_path or may be outside where it is
called. Basically, I am talking about below code:
@@ -2473,57 +2469,6 @@ apply_projection_to_path(PlannerInfo *root,
{
..
- else if (path->parallel_safe &&
- !is_parallel_safe(root, (Node *) target->exprs))
- {
- /*
- * We're inserting a parallel-restricted target list into a path
- * currently marked parallel-safe, so we have to mark it as no longer
- * safe.
- */
- path->parallel_safe = false;
- }
-
..
}
I can take care of dealing with this unless you think otherwise.
