That's what I had in mind. > IMHO, tbm_attach_shared_iterate should return TBMIterator with > reference to TBMSharedIterator inside it.

No, I don't agree. I think TBMSharedIterator should be an unshared structure created by tbm_attach_shared_iterate, which can internally contain backend-private state like a TBMIterateResult, and which can also contain a pointer to the shared-memory structure previously created by tbm_prepare_shared_iterate. That thing needs to be called something other than a TBMSharedIterator, like TBMSharedIterationState or something. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
