[DOCS] directly construct a query plan

2004-10-04 Thread Chengkai Li
Hello everyone,
I plan to directly construct a query plan without going through the query 
optimizer, by manipulating the various data structures for representing 
query plan tree and parse tree. Is there any facility inside/outside 
postgresql that can be of help? Is there any known issue/difficulty related 
to this?

Thanks!
Steve

Only that your code *will* break in each future release, because we have
no hesitation about whacking those data structures around ...

Hi Tom,
Thanks!
So if I want to try out some new join algorithm, or even new type of plan 
nodes, before I feel the algorithms/nodes are so good that I want to enable 
the optimizer to consider them as options, is there any better way to 
experiment with possible new plans?

regards,
Steve
