Invent a new function heap_modify_tuple_by_cols() that is functionally equivalent to SPI_modifytuple except that it always allocates its result by simple palloc. I chose however to make the API details a bit more like heap_modify_tuple: pass a tupdesc rather than a Relation, and use bool convention for the isnull array. Use this function in place of SPI_modifytuple at all call sites where the intended behavior is to allocate in current context. (There actually are only two call sites left that depend on the old behavior, which makes me wonder if we should just drop this function rather than keep it.) This new function is easier to use than heap_modify_tuple() for purposes of replacing a single column (or, really, any fixed number of columns). There are a number of places where it would simplify the code to change over, but I resisted that temptation for the moment ... everywhere except in plpgsql's exec_assign_value(); changing that might offer some small performance benefit, so I did it. This is on the way to removing SPI_push/SPI_pop, but it seems like good code cleanup in its own right. Discussion: <9633.1478552022@sss.pgh.pa.us> |

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
