Hello list, I would like to be able to send the HeapTuple returned by ExecFetchSlotTuple() over the network (socket) to another postmaster process that's waiting for it. I don't need to decode it, just send bytes.
My question, and I am not a DB expert, I just deal with raw data. What other information do I need to include from struct HeapTupleData in order for that data to make sense on the other end (to rebuild a HeapTuple from it). I understand that: data_address = offset(HeapTupleHeaderData, tuple->t_data->t_hoff); data_len = tuple->t_len - tuple->t_data->t_hoff; tuple->t_data->t_ctid and tuple->t_data->t_natts are needed for this. Is that it? What do I need to watch for with TOAST'ed tuple? I will basically create a temp struct that will hold those necessary information and sent that struct. Thank you, tjjr __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
