We do want to generate it later when there isn't inheritance involved, but only if there is a single rel involved (simple_rel_array_size <=2). The rule is something like this, we will generate the gather paths at this stage only if there are more than two rels involved and there isn't inheritance involved. -- With Regards, Amit Kapila.
