Hi,
When SPI produces a tuple table result, its DestReceiver makes a new
"SPI TupTable" memory context, as a child of the SPI Proc context,
and the received tuples get copied into it. It goes away at SPI_finish,
as a consequence of its parent SPI Proc context going away.
If a person wanted to refer to those tuples after SPI_finish,
would it be a dangerous idea to just reparent that context into one
that will live longer, shortly before SPI_finish is called?
AtEOSubXact_SPI can free tuptables retail, but only in the rollback case.
The idea makes sense to me, only I notice that SPITupleTable.tuptabcxt
is under /* Private members, not intended for external callers */.
There's no such warning painted on GetMemoryChunkContext, but it would be
hard to get the Woody Guthrie song out of my head after doing it that way.
Am I overlooking a reason that reparenting an SPI TupTable context
would be a bad idea?
Regards,
