Yeah -- another point against that idea is that most of the callers are indeed not using virtual tuples, so it doesn't really work. I was just thinking that if something wants to process transient tuples they may just be virtual and not be forced to make them heap tuples, but on looking again, that's not how the abstraction works. -- Álvaro Herrera Valdivia, Chile — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ "Siempre hay que alimentar a los dioses, aunque la tierra esté seca" (Orual)
