<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="">As part of a research project I would like to change the source code
ofPostgres. There, I want to do the following: I want to stop the optimizer at some place, issue a query from the
optimizerand use the result of the query to continue the optimization process.</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span

submitthe query.</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="">Thanks a lot!</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span
