Description
SPI_returntuple makes a copy of a row in the upper executor context, returning it in the form of a row type Datum. The returned pointer need only be converted to Datum via PointerGetDatum before returning.
This function can only be used while connected to SPI. Otherwise, it returns NULL and sets SPI_result to SPI_ERROR_UNCONNECTED.
Note that this should be used for functions that are declared to return composite types. It is not used for triggers; use SPI_copytuple for returning a modified row in a trigger.
Arguments
- `HeapTuple +`_`+row`_
-
row to be copied
- `TupleDesc +`_`+rowdesc`_
-
descriptor for row (pass the same descriptor each time for most effective caching)
