Hi Szymon, Kevin, The offset is the order of a tuple in a Sequential Scan. What I want to do is, for a given key return the tuples that Index scan can find, and return the rest tuples by a seq scan. So, I need to know which tuples have been returned by maintain a bitmap, and to avoid return the same tuple twice.
If I can know the offset of a tuple in the order of file scan, then I can force the seq scan to skip it. By ctid, can I know how much tuples are in a block, is it an constant? I think a more general solution would be build a hash table on ctid. What do you think?
