Hi there , i have this scenario : - postgresql 7.5 ( with modified heap_* functions to retrieve data from another dbms) - the tuple's data is allocated in memory via palloc (the tuple table slot and the heap tuple hold a pointer to the data and not to the buffer pages nor hard disk data pointers) - the changes (by now) gonna be implemented in sequential scans.
Having these , I need to modify the tuple after the ExecQual , and after the projection so i can save memory , just changing the tuple to hold a "hash" or compressed data , and decompress / or restore the tuple data in the ExecSelect phase. I tried to do this using the heap_modifytuple function , and returning a "newSlot with a newTuple" instead the "resultSlot" but as i suppose im missing something , can anyone help me ? or give me a clue....
