If I understand correctly the reason a large table is needed is to test parallelism, right? Wouldn't the better fix be to just tweak the parallelism settings for that table? See select_parallel.sql: -- encourage use of parallel plans set parallel_setup_cost=0; set parallel_tuple_cost=0; set min_parallel_table_scan_size=0; set max_parallel_workers_per_gather=4; might be worth also setting set parallel_leader_participation = off; to avoid the leader processing everything before workers have even started up.
