Why?

 Actually i'm trying to write a function where the plan which is optimal for
 one query is enforced for another query (and the 2 queries differ only in a
 constant value of a predicate).

How about using a parameter instead of a constant?

Hi,

 I want to take a plan generated by the postgres optimizer and insert a
 constant in place of another constant in the plan. There is a function
 OidOutputFunctionCall( ) to get the constant. Similarly, is there any
 function to set the value of the constant?   Also what does
 OidInputFunctionCall( ) do?

 Please reply soon, this is an emergency..

 Thanks a lot,
 Shruthi
