PgCuckoo: Laying Plan Eggs in PostgreSQL's Nest
Summary: PgCuckoo leverages PostgreSQL planner hooks to pass external plan trees for immediate execution, with plan-detail inference and decoration to mimic native plans. External code generators and experimental SQL-plan rewrites can use PostgreSQL as a back-end, demonstrated via a live account of hatching foreign plan eggs. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
