The end of month process that we run at my company was a pg_dump and pg_restore of 3 tables, these tables are around ~(400GB) each. The entire process on pg93 took 29 hours. The index creation portion of the restore on the target pg9.3 database took: 5) time: -15 hours -4 minute ((-54264 % 60)) seconds The index creation of the restore on the target db after pg11 upgrade on source and target took: 5) time: -5 hours -7 minute ((-18434 % 60)) seconds We saved 10 hours!! Here is what we have on the target pg11 database., so max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 3 is what I think was what reduced the index creation time. [13:20:04] [root@database ~] # cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor processor: 0 processor: 1 processor: 2 processor: 3 processor: 4 processor: 5 max_worker_processes = 6 # (change requires restart) max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 3 # taken from max_parallel_workers max_parallel_workers = 6 Jason Ralph -----Original Message----- From: Peter Geoghegan <p...@bowt.ie> Sent: Thursday, October 3, 2019 1:26 AM To: Jason Ralph <jra...@affinitysolutions.com> Cc: pgsql-general@lists.postgresql.org Subject: Re: PG11 Parallel Thanks!!

So thank you for > your hard work and dedication to this awesome piece of software. How long did it take on 9.3? I am the author of the parallel CREATE INDEX feature.
