Hi John ,
Thank you.
I am using C.
Yes i mean to allocate memory of each tuple resulting from a query.
Is there any function which gives the size of a tuple?
If so...Please tell me/Tell me how to proceed to do that?
Thanks&Regards,
Sandhya R

You are not giving enough information. What programming language are
you using? What do you mean by a "record"? Do you want to know much
memory to allocate to store each tuple resulting from a query? If so,
that will obviously depend on the type of each column and the size of
each field.
