PARALLEL CTAS

Based on testing thus far, it appears that the only way to get a bulk load operation (similar to oracle) would be to use the COPY command or to use multiple connections and break up the inserts across connections.  I did see a possibility of using the postgres_fdw extension and use the batch functionality, but I haven’t tested that yet.

Does anyone know the status of this feature / patch that was discussed in this link?

Is there a way in PostgreSQL to parallelize a CTAS statement similar to how you can do it in Oracle?
