Fine. After looking at the new executor code a bit, I noticed that we don't need the resultSlot anymore; we can use the ss_ScanTupleSlot instead. Because resultSlot was being used in the xml.c code (which already appeared a bit dubious to me), I changed the interface so that instead the things that it read from it are passed as parameters -- namely, in InitBuilder we pass natts, and in GetValue we pass typid and typmod. Secondly, I noticed we have the FetchRow routine produce a minimal tuple, put it in a slot; then its caller takes the slot and put the tuple in the tuplestore. This is pointless; we can just have FetchRow put the tuple in the tuplestore directly and not bother with any slot manipulations there. This simplifies the code a bit. Here's v47 with those changes. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
