[GENERAL] hi,is it dangerous to only use tuple pointer through heap_getnext()?

[sunpeng]

hi,i use these codes to store only pointer of tuple :
HeapTuple *tuple;
    tuple = heap_getnext(pHeapScanDesc,ForwardScanDirection);
    while(tuple){
        //[1#]here i only store the pointer of tuple in an array for later
using,that means i don't retrive attribute data from this tuple ,is this ok?

        myArray[i++]=tuple;
        //then next tuple
        tuple = heap_getnext(pHeapScanDesc,ForwardScanDirection);
    }
at place [1#],i only store the pointer of current tuple in an array for
later using,that means i don't retrieve attribute data from this tuple ,is
this ok?
could these tuple pointers be invalid sometimes later if myArray still
reference these tuples? i know these tuples have been read into buffers in
shared memory, yet I am not sure wether these buffers be replaced or marked
invalid when myArray still points to these tuples in according buffers.
thanks a lot!
