Hello all,
I'd like to inspect the content of tuples as they are sent during the
execution of a query in order to react to their values.
I guess I could do it with a FDW, but that's a bit clumsy so I took a
look at the hooks but have two questions:
1.) Would ExecutorRun_hook be the correct place to implement such an
'tuple inspector'?
2.) If yes, how? As far as I understand the source code, I would have
to provide my own implementation based on standard_ExecutorRun and
replace the ExecutePlan function with my own one that takes a look at
each 'slot' like so
if (estate->es_junkFilter != NULL)1589 slot = ExecFilterJunk(estate->es_junkFilter, slot);1590
Tuple inspection here
1591 /*1592 * If we are supposed to send the tuple somewhere, do so. (In1593 * practice, this
isprobably always the case at this point.)1594 */1595 if (sendTuples)1596 {
If there is a better way, please advise. I'm really a newbie to this.
Best regards,
Ernst-Georg Schmid
