Hi,

I am trying to run postgresql functions with threads by using OpenMP.
I tried to parallelize slot_deform_tuple function(src/backend/access/
common/heaptuple.c) and added below lines to the code.

#pragma omp parallel
{
#pragma omp sections
{
#pragma omp section
values[attnum] = fetchatt(thisatt, tp + off);

#pragma omp section
off = att_addlength_pointer(off, thisatt->attlen, tp + off);
}
}

During ./configure I saw the information message for heaptuple.c as
below:
"OpenMP defined section was parallelized."

Below is the configure that I have run:
./configure CC="/path/to/icc -openmp" CFLAGS="-O2" --prefix=/path/to/
pgsql --bindir=/path/to/pgsql/bin --datadir=/path/to/pgsql/share --
sysconfdir=/path/to/pgsql/etc --libdir=/path/to/pgsql/lib --
includedir=/path/to/pgsql/include --mandir=/path/to/pgsql/man --with-
pgport=65432 --with-readline --without-zlib

After configure I ran gmake and gmake install and I saw "PostgreSQL
installation complete."

When I begin to configure for initdb and run below command:
/path/to/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /path/to/pgsql/data

I get following error:

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"reydan.cankur".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_US.UTF-8.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to UTF8.
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

fixing permissions on existing directory /path/to/pgsql/data ... ok
creating subdirectories ... ok
selecting default max_connections ... 100
selecting default shared_buffers ... 32MB

creating template1 database in /path/to/pgsql/data/base/1 ... FATAL:
could not create unique index "pg_type_typname_nsp_index"
DETAIL: Table contains duplicated values.
child process exited with exit code 1
initdb: removing contents of data directory "/path/to/pgsql/data"

I could not get the point between initdb process and the change that I
have made.
I need your help on solution of this issue.

Thanks in advance,
Reydan
