For example, can pg show all the candidate plans it searched, and the cost of each candidate plan? No, because rejected alternatives are not carried through to the point of having a displayable plan. (Trying to do so would be enormously expensive.) People have experimented with adding trace facilities that would show some details about rejected plan alternatives, but none of that has led to a facility that I'd care to use. regards, tom lane
