Hello Mr. Lane, I am a novice postgres developer. Can you please shed some light on this problem I am having.
Basically, I am making a small change in executePlan() function of executor/execMain.c. Right after a tupleslot is retrieved, I try to find out the oid of the tuple that has been retrieved. /* code that retrieves tupleslot */ /* snip */ if (estate->es_useEvalPlan) { slot = EvalPlanQualNext(estate); if (TupIsNull(slot)) slot = ExecProcNode(plan, NULL); } else slot = ExecProcNode(plan, NULL); /* end of snip */ Right after this, I insert my code. tupleOid = slot->val->t_data->t_oid; For some reason, this assignment always results in tupleOid being 0. My database has oid's enabled and I can see that an oid is assigned to each tuple. >From what I understood, t_data is a pointer to the ondisk tuple so t_oid should not be 0. Can you please tell me what wrong assumptions I am making. Thank you for your time and help.....
