In response to directly construct a query plan  ("Chengkai Li" <dbresearch@hotmail.com>)

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
