Let me try to explain by example:
Without this feature, the queries that refer subplans will be executed
serially like below:
regression=# explain (costs off) select count(*) from tenk1 where
(two, four) not in (select hundred, thousand from tenk2 where thousand
> 100);
QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------
Aggregate
-> Seq Scan on tenk1
Filter: (NOT (hashed SubPlan 1))
SubPlan 1
-> Seq Scan on tenk2
Filter: (thousand > 100)
(6 rows)
After this feature, the queries that refer subplans can use parallel
plans like below:
regression=# explain (costs off) select count(*) from tenk1 where
(two, four) not in (select hundred, thousand from tenk2 where
thousand > 100);
QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------
Finalize Aggregate
-> Gather
Workers Planned: 2
-> Partial Aggregate
-> Parallel Seq Scan on tenk1
Filter: (NOT (hashed SubPlan 1))
SubPlan 1
-> Seq Scan on tenk2
Filter: (thousand > 100)
(9 rows)
Now, it won't use parallelism if there is correlated subplan like below:
Seq Scan on t1
Filter: (SubPlan 1)
SubPlan 1
-> Result
One-Time Filter: (t1.k = 0)
-> Parallel Seq Scan on t2
In this plan difference is that SubPlan refers to outer relation t1.
Do the above examples helps in understanding the feature?
