Greetings, I have a binary blog which is passed to a plpython function by a plpgsql function. plpython is used to create 2 different transformations of this binary blob to sets of postgresql type instances. The flow is: blob -> plpython -> canonical python based data model -> (set of db_type_As + set of db_type_Bs) The problem is, transforming the binary blob to postgresql is expensive, and a single binary blob is the source of two transformations. I have not found a way of returning to sets of data form the plpython function. At the moment, I have two options: 1) calling two functions in plpython that use the same blob and return different sets of postgresql types (heavyweight transformation will happen twice: bad) 2) creating two temp tables and calling the plpython function which in turn writes to these temp tables, and then using the temp tables from plpgsql.
Do you think there are any other options that I might be missing? What would be the most efficient way of passing temp tables to plpython function?
