I have been working with Postgres for just a short while, however, we are
looking to use Postgres for our next project and I was hoping someone could
answer a question for me regarding the planner to save me some research
time.
How integrated is the planner into the database? Put another way, how hard
would it be to separate the planner from the core database in such a way
that it could be easily replaced either during compilation or even better
with a runtime setting?
This could possibly led to a much easier way to work on and compare separate
planners within Postgres without having to fork the code base.
Any opinions, answers, rants...
Thanks,
Keith
