Hi Tom,

I made sure EXPLAIN returns CustomScan for all scans in the query. But still, ExecCustomScan is only called once while the rest of the functions are called for each scan separately. Is this expected behavior? How to work around this?

Thank you!

There's barely any code in the core planner that is specific to custom
scans.  Almost certainly this misbehavior is the fault of your
custom-path-creation code.  Maybe you're labeling the paths with the
wrong parent relation, or forgetting to submit them to add_path,
or assigning them costs that are high enough to get them rejected?
