But I modestly hope you would add a CachedPlanSource pointer solely to the PlannedStmt and restructure it a little as we discussed above. And no new structures are needed. Am I wrong?
That was my initial intention somehow to get CachedPlan available
to Executor hooks. But, as you pointed out there is more value in
CachedPlanSource.
I know Michael opposed the idea of carrying these structures,
at least CachedPlan, to Executor hooks ( or maybe just not QueryDesc?? ).
It will be good to see what he think, or if others an opinion about this, about
adding a pointer to CachedPlanSource in PlannedStmt vs setting a flag in
PlannedStmt to track plan cache type for the current execution? The former
does provide more capability for extensions, as Andrei has pointed out
