Do you know why we can't use parallel plan when cursor is used? Is It
related to this code in ExecutePlan?
/*
* Set up parallel mode if appropriate.
*
* Parallel mode only supports complete execution of a plan. If we've
* already partially executed it, or if the caller asks us to exit
early,
* we must force the plan to run without parallelism.
*/
if (queryDesc->already_executed || numberTuples != 0)
use_parallel_mode = false;
Actually I can't understand the comment as well and I had this
confusion for a long time.
