Um, if you're speaking of select_parallel, that already runs in parallel with two other regression tests, and there is no annotation in the parallel_schedule file suggesting that adding more scripts to that group would be bad. But yes, perhaps putting this test into its own standalone group would be enough of a fix. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
