- /* plan the query */

- plan = pg_plan_query(query, CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK, params);

+ /*

+ plan = pg_plan_query(query, into ? 0:CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK, params);

There should be a white space between 0:CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK. Also I
don't see this comment is required as similar other usage doesn't have any
such comment. Fixed these two points in the attached patch.

In general, the patch looks good to me and solves the problem mentioned. I
have ran the regression tests with force_parallel_mode and doesn't see any
problem.
