Hi All,
I am trying to create HeapTuple data structure.
First, I create a tuple descriptor:
TupleDesc *td=CreateTemplateTupleDesc(colCount);
Then, for each variable, I do:
TupleDescInitEntry(*td,v->varattno,NULL,v->vartype,v->vartypmod,0);
Then, I assign values:
if int32: values[v->varattno-1]=Int8GetDatum(myValue);
Similarly for float.
Finally, I create the HeapTuple:
HeapTuple tuple=heap_form_tuple(td,values,isnull);
Everything works fine with int and float. But I don't know how to handle
chars.
Let's say we have a character(10) column. One problem is v->vartypmod will
be set to 14. Shouldn't it be 10?
Second, how should I assign values? Is
values[v->varattno-1]=CStringGetDatum(myValue); correct? Should I set the
last parameter to TupleDescInitEntry? Why am I getting "invalid memory
alloc request size" or segfault with different configurations?
