At this point, parallel_register_count should be equal to parallel_terminate_count. 4 workers were started, and 4 have terminated. > Backend 2> SET max_parallel_worker = 3; > Backend 2 > Try to execute any parallel query q2 with number of > parallel worker spawned > 0. Now here parallel_register_count should get bumped up to 4+(# of workers now launched) at the beginning and then parallel_terminate_count at the end. No problem.
