SPI_returntuple
SPI_returntuple — prepare to return a tuple as a Datum
Synopsis
HeapTupleHeader SPI_returntuple(HeapTuplerow
, TupleDescrowdesc
)
Description
SPI_returntuple
makes a copy of a row in the upper executor context, returning it in the form of a row typeDatum
. The returned pointer need only be converted toDatum
viaPointerGetDatum
before returning.
This function can only be used while connected to SPI. Otherwise, it returns NULL and setsSPI_result
toSPI_ERROR_UNCONNECTED
.
Note that this should be used for functions that are declared to return composite types. It is not used for triggers; useSPI_copytuple
for returning a modified row in a trigger.
Arguments
HeapTuple
row
row to be copied
TupleDesc
rowdesc
descriptor for row (pass the same descriptor each time for most effective caching)
Return Value
HeapTupleHeader
pointing to copied row, orNULL
on error (seeSPI_result
for an error indication)
