Header comments within execTuples.c state: * - ExecutePlan() calls ExecSelect(), which passes the result slot * to printtup(), which uses slot_getallattrs() to extract the * individual Datums for printing.
This isn't true, though - the function ExecSelect() no longer exists. This is because commit 8a5849b7ff24c637a1140c26fc171e45c9142005 removed it, as infrastructure for data-modifying CTEs. In fact, ExecutePlan now directly and indifferently calls the receiveSlot. tcop/dest stuff takes care of calling printtup(), which I guess is what was originally intended by this comment (by which I mean, that part probably isn't obsolete). -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
