Tom, Just for testing, I stuffed it into ExecEvalVar under the switch statement in execQual.c. This was a chosen spot I was fairly certain I could get some kind of output.
TupleTableSlot *slot; TupleDesc tuple_type; The above portion is actually part of the delivered source code. Maybe I need to as you said wrap a NameStr() around it?

The code looks ok as far as it goes ... it's not using NameStr() which I would consider good style, but that's just cosmetic. What context is this being called in, and where are you getting the slot from? I think you're probably not really using a valid slot ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
