hi
I have created a function in pl/pgsql for xid data
type
CREATE FUNCTION xid_neq(xid, xid) RETURNS bool AS
'BEGIN
IF $2 IS NULL THEN
return ''f'';
ELSE
IF $1 IS NULL THEN
return ''f'';
ELSE return float4in(xidout($1)) <>
float4in(xidout($2));
END IF;
END IF;
END' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' IMMUTABLE;
with the operator <>
CREATE OPERATOR public.<> (
PROCEDURE = xid_neq,
LEFTARG = xid,
RIGHTARG = xid,
COMMUTATOR ='<>',
NEGATOR ='=',
RESTRICT = neqsel,
JOIN = neqjoinsel);
Now, to implement above code I need Pl/PgSql installed
on the database. To solve this problem i need to
create this function in C language. As I am novice to
linux and pgsql, i have tried my best to implement the
above code in c language but unable to do so.
According to the online help i got, i think i have to
write the code in a file outside pgsql and then i have
to compile it through gcc. Also i think i need
postgres.h to complete the opeartion which is
available only in the distribution code.
The code i come up with for c langauage is
bool xid_neq(xid arg1,xid arg2)
{
if(arg1 isnull){
return (false);
}
else
if(arg2 isnull){
return(false);
}
else
return (arg1 != arg2);
}
How am i supoose to create the function now. I think i
am very much confused in this new environment.
please help...
