Re: Object?? -Relational DBMS Postgresql are you sure?

Alex,

Actually I am interested in this.

This works:

select * from child where base.oid=178120

I guess no body really read my last two emails. Try to get some
attention from the topic this time see anyone 
care to answer my simple question. I know from the core design of
postgres has object extension vision. 
But is there anyone here still working on the object possiblity in
postgres? 

I understand you guys were busy working on the SQL 99 standard. Thanks
for your time. Here is my answer for my last question, just in cast
someone out there still try to use object database. ( trying ) :) 


#include "postgres.h"                  
#include "fmgr.h"                               
#include "executor/executor.h"  
#include "utils/geo_decls.h"    

Datum           spycastoid(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS);
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(spycastoid);

Datum
spycastoid(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS){ TupleTableSlot *t = (TupleTableSlot *) PG_GETARG_POINTER(0); int32           slot =
PG_GETARG_INT32(1);int32           myid; bool            isnull;
 
 myid = DatumGetInt32(GetAttributeByNum(t, slot, &isnull)); if (isnull)   PG_RETURN_INT32(0); PG_RETURN_INT32(myid);
}

when the table is created one or two thing need to be done 
CREATE TABLE base ( myname text,
);

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX spy_unique_key ON base ( oid, myname ) ;

CREATE TABLE child ( myfather base,  myname text
);

CREATE FUNCTION spycast( child , int4 ) RETURNS int4   // (
myObjectClass_OwnedBy_TableName, myAttributeNum )  
AS '/spycastoid.so' LANGUAGE 'c'; 
CREATE FUNCTION spycast( child ) RETURNS int4   // (
myObjectClass_OwnedBy_TableName )  
AS 'select spycast($1,1 );' LANGUAGE 'sql'; // make this programmable

INSERT INTO base ( myname ) Values ( 'alex' ) ;
INSERT 56578 1  <<---- oid
INSERT INTO child ( myfather, myname ) values ( 56578::base, 'alexbaby'
); INSERT 56579 1  <<---- oid

now you can do 
SELECT * FROM child WHERE spycast( child ) = 56578 ;
