I see what you mean and I changed the code BUT still my main problem is that I want to know how to fill values array. I remind you that d_type contains attributes of another composite type p_type. I need a solution to that because I need to use it in other parts of the code.
Datum d_swap(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS) { HeapTupleHeader t = PG_GETARG_HEAPTUPLEHEADER(0); HeapTupleHeader i; HeapTupleHeader e; bool isnull; TupleDesc tupdesc; Datum values[3]; HeapTuple tuple; i = DatumGetHeapTupleHeader(GetAttributeByName(t, "i", &isnull)); e = DatumGetHeapTupleHeader(GetAttributeByName(t, "e", &isnull)); if (get_call_result_type(fcinfo, NULL, &tupdesc) != TYPEFUNC_COMPOSITE) { ereport(ERROR, (errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED), errmsg("function returning record called in context that cannot accept type record"))); } BlessTupleDesc(tupdesc); //I need to get this working *values[0] = e;* * values[1] = i;* * values[2] = GetAttributeByName(t, "id", &isnull);* tuple = heap_form_tuple(tupdesc, values, &isnull); PG_RETURN_DATUM(HeapTupleGetDatum(tuple)); } On Sun, Sep 26, 2010 at 7:16 PM, Tom Lane <t...@sss.pgh.pa.us> wrote: > Marios Vodas <mvo...@gmail.com> writes: > > My problem is that I don't know how to construct the d_type tuple in the > c > > function. > > Seems like the main problem with that function is that you're passing > an uninitialized "nulls" array to heap_form_tuple. > > I kinda wonder why you are using a fixed-length values array together > with a variable-length, dynamically allocated nulls array, but that' > just odd style not wrong in itself. > > regards, tom lane >
