We were applying the use_physical_tlist optimization to all relation scan plans, even those implemented by custom scan providers. However, that's a bad idea for a couple of reasons. The custom provider might be unable to provide columns that it hadn't expected to be asked for (for example, the custom scan might depend on an index-only scan). Even more to the point, there's no good reason to suppose that this "optimization" is a win for a custom scan; whatever the custom provider is doing is likely not based on simply returning physical heap tuples. (As a counterexample, if the custom scan is an interface to a column store, demanding all columns would be a huge loss.) If it is a win, the custom provider could make that decision for itself and insert a suitable pathtarget into the path, anyway. Per discussion with Dmitry Ivanov. Back-patch to 9.5 where custom scan support was introduced. The argument that the custom provider can adjust the behavior by changing the pathtarget only applies to 9.6+, but on balance it seems more likely that use_physical_tlist will hurt custom scans than help them.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
