Looking at explain.c for "num_workers; " (including the final space at the end), looking at each for loop that loops over each worker, quite a number of those locations have a condition that skips the worker. For example, show_sort_info() does if (sinstrument->sortMethod == SORT_TYPE_STILL_IN_PROGRESS) continue; /* ignore any unfilled slots */ So maybe Hash Agg should be doing something similar. Additionally, maybe it should not show the leader details if the leader didn't help. David
