Hi, I recently noticed the following in the work_mem [1] documentation:
“Note that for a complex query, several sort or hash operations might be running in parallel;” The use of “parallel” here is misleading as this has nothing to do with parallel query, but rather several operations in a plan running simultaneously. The use of parallel in this doc predates parallel query support, which explains the usage. I suggest a small doc fix: “Note that for a complex query, several sort or hash operations might be running simultaneously;” This should also be backpatched to all supported versions docs. Thoughts?
