Problem
The
portalspg_regress test declares cursors ontenk2withoutORDER BY, relying on heap scan order for expected output. Whensynchronize_seqscansis on (the default) and another backend in the same parallel group is concurrently scanningtenk2, the new scan can start mid-table, producing rows in a different order than the.outfile expects.The issue surfaces more on slower storages (for example network-attached), where scan timing differences widen the window for concurrent scan synchronization.
