Description

There are a handful of test tables like test_char_tmp that can be inserted into from multiple tests in parallel.

 TestStringQueries.test_varchar[exec_option: {'batch_size': 0, 'num_nodes': 0, 'disable_codegen_rows_threshold': 0, 'disable_codegen': True, 'abort_on_error': 1, 'exec_single_node_rows_threshold': 0} | table_format: text/none]
